Answer 1

As we know that humans are social beings. One of the ways social world works is through the process of communication. A large portion of our lives is spent by communicating with others. We share our thoughts, feelings with others. It is the most basic and important feature of a person's social life. There are two types of communication - verbal and non- verbal. 80 percent of our communication is non-verbal. Non verbal communication includes body language, gestures, facial expressions, etc. Miscommunication is sn issue that a lot of couples face.

Process of communication has two aspects- sender and a receiver. The message that needs to be communicated is conveyed by the sender and the receiver interprets the message to best of his ability. The most important part of communication is talking clearly and listening. Often the receiver misinterpret the communication by not listening. So its very important to listen.

It is important to note that people understand from their level of perception. The "noise" in communication arises when the receiver is not able to comprehend the message completely which furthermore guarantees that the receiver will not be able to grasp anything that you are saying.

Noise impacts relationship in a major way.

It leads to misunderstanding which in turn changes into grudges. Communication is the most vital tool couples have in order to develop closeness. And if the communication part dies, so does the relationship.

It is very important to listen while communicating with others and understanding their perspective. This us where we often mess up.
