Building Stronger Bonds: Enhancing Christian Unity Through Effective Communication

At some point, all relationships will go through times of conflict. All people will have times where communication will be challenging.  At those times relationships can plummet from the heights to the depths in a moment. 

In those moments, people tend to either fight (attack the other person) or go down the path of flight (avoid the other person). 

Therefore, if you stay in a fight vs. flight pattern, you will not be able to resolve issues, and consequently, your relationship will worsen. 

The following are some of the consequences of poor communication in relationships.

  • Issues remain unclear and unresolved (Proverbs 18:17).
  • Wrong ideas are uncovered.
  • Conflicts and misunderstandings are unresolved (Matt 5:23-26).
  • Confusion and disorder occur (1 Cor. 14:33, 40).
  • Wise decision-making is hindered (Proverbs 18:13).
  • The development of deep unity and intimacy is hindered (Amos 3:3).
  • Boredom, discontentment, and frustration develop.
  • Interpersonal problems pile up, and barriers become higher and wider.
  • The temptation to look for someone more exciting occurs.
  • We do not really get to know each other.
  • We do not receive spiritual help from each other.

So if you are struggling with communication issues in your relationships, I hope you will consider getting help. 

In the upcoming weeks, I will be sharing several helpful resources to improve your communication skills and deepen your relationships. 

I know these resources will benefit you. Please keep an eye out for upcoming posts.

Blessings.
