Communication in Our Relationships

Let's talk communication. We often categorized communication as good and bad, but miss if it is effective. Is it good if we all agree or get along, but what if nothing was accomplished?  If feeling were hurt or a fight happened, but our true feelings were communicated and you were heard is that bad communication? So what is a person to do?

Don’t mistake good or effective communication with pleasant and comfortable interactions.
