Effective communication with assertion are keys to a good relationship - Part 1
The problems of communication are further exacerbated when one speaks with more conviction than the other. In this situation, this person takes on a lead role and is able to exercise more control and the outcome of the conversation. Effectively the power is rendered to that individual without he or she not knowing about it. It is important that each one has to assert their own rights in order for the relationship to work. If the other person is mature enough, they will give you room to voice your opinions and also your rights as an individual. However, in many cases this power and control can be highly provocative to the individual exercising it, then it becomes difficult to divulge any of this power. Hence the significant importance of assertion.
If assertion does not work through communication via conversation there are other methods which one could deploy such as the silent treatment. However, one must realize that it is far better to communicate your feelings and ideas rather than resort to such tactics. If you are finding yourself not communicating effectively, it is likely that there is a power struggle in the relationship and the ideas or feelings are simply not being communicated effectively through assertion.
