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.

Have you ever felt after a meeting or encounter with your loved one that you should have taken a different stance in something you both discussed. This happens when we are not able to assert ourselves strongly for fear of being embarrassed or hurting the other person. In actual fact the problem is more prevalent with men than they are with a women. Why? It’s because women in general have little fear about speaking their mind and they do so without always looking at the repercussions of what they are saying. Men on the other hand are more inclined to weigh the facts in a logical form before speaking. Of course there will be differences in both men and women in this regard.
