The key to any relationship whether it’s with your spouse, your children, your parents, your neighbors or at your place of employment; is often determined by how you communicate. Why? Because proper communication allows you to express genuine feelings, intentions and concerns. Your level of expertise in this area will greatly determine the results you get.

There's a saying: "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones - But Words Can Never Hurt Me" Don’t believe it. That statement is absolutely not the truth! As well meaning as that quote may be, words can and do hurt others. Your words have the power to build up and to tear down.

To find success in our relationships, we do well to be mindful of what we say to one another. Once a word is uttered, it can never be unheard; even if the listener forgives us. The stabs of our words can last forever. A great self-rule is to think twice and speak once and being "word-wise" takes you one step closer to successful, meaningful, and lasting relationships.
