Defining Nonverbal Communication

 

Nonverbal communication is nearly anything that sends an idea from one person to another without the use of words.

 

It is important to keep in mind the fact that cultural norms define a lot about nonverbal communication. Personal space, eye contact, and touching are just a few of the nonverbal tools that mean different things in different cultures. In the United States, for example, it is considered polite to maintain quite a bit of eye contact when speaking to a superior. In many Asian cultures, however, this would be seen as disrespectful. The ideas in this section are based primarily on what is considered appropriate in North America.

 

One of the common phrases used when talking about nonverbal communication is "body language." Body language can include gestures, movements, and even posture, that is used to send messages about what you mean – most of which is defined at length below. Sometimes body language doesn't match what is being said, and having an understanding of how to read it can be very helpful in determining what another person really wants or needs.

Answer 2

Talk to each other. No matter how well you know and love each other, you cannot read your partner’s mind. We need to communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings that may cause hurt, anger, resentment or confusion.

It takes two people to have a relationship and each person has different communication needs and styles. Couples need to find a way of communicating that suits their relationship. Healthy communication styles require practice and hard work, however communication will never be perfect all the time.

Be clear when communicating with your partner, so that your message can be received and understood. Double check your understanding of what your partner is saying.

When you talk to your partner, try to:

set aside time to talk without interruption from other people or distractions like phones, computers or television
think about what you want to say
be clear about what you want to communicate
make your message clear, so that your partner hears it accurately and understands what you mean
talk about what is happening and how it affects you
talk about what you want, need and feel – use ‘I’ statements such as ‘I need’, ‘I want’ and ‘I feel’
accept responsibility for your own feelings
listen to your partner. Put aside your own thoughts for the time being and try to understand their intentions, feelings, needs and wants (this is called empathy)
share positive feelings with your partner, such as what you appreciate and admire about them, and how important they are to you
be aware of your tone of voice
negotiate and remember that you don’t have to be right all the time. If the issue you are having is not that important, sometimes let the issue go, or agree to disagree.
