Commitment Equals Communication.

When we decide to become someone’s friend or spouse, we are making a conscious decision to share our Joy, Pain, Progress, and Setbacks. We have agreed to put aside selfish wants to build something greater than ourselves. This means no secrets in relationships. Commitment Equals Communication. Building Accountable Relationships starts with honoring this very agreement and maintaining TRUST.

So, if we think, “should I share this?” We are already breaking the contract of choice.

Before destroying TRUST within your relationships, communicate!

Ask yourself FOUR questions:

1) Why would I do anything I could not share with my friend or spouse?
2)Why would I have to question if it is okay to share this with my friend or spouse?
3) Why did I commit to anyone when I cannot communicate openly?
4) Would I want my friend or spouse to tell me? (And don’t trick yourself into saying “NO” because you’re the person wearing the shoes).

Don’t Hesitate!

Communicate

and Communicate again!

Starting the Communication is always a text, dial tone, or an open mouth away. Keep in mind, bestowing thoughts will start a more significant discussion. Don’t think about sharing. Share. See what happens!

Commitment Equals Communication is what allows us to build Accountable Relationships. What separates a friend or spouse from just anyone else in the world? Our willingness to want to share our thoughts, actions, and faithful with one another. How is it a connection if it’s missing the desire to communicate?

It’s not!

Secrets in relationships:

Secrets in Relationships hurt us. So, why do so many people subscribe to the idea “It’s okay to keep secrets?” Is it because we know our secrets will push our loved ones away? Or is it because we would walk away if we were them? We tend to lack Communication due to self-doubt. Confident people tend to share.

Some will say, “they tend to over-share.” Whatever we may think about outspoken people, they got it right! We should be confident in our relationship’s ability to overcome anything we need to say. At least, we should believe the other person should have a chance to make that decision. We guarantee (which is more likely) they will TRUST you more for telling them than hearing it from someone else.

What is a commitment built on secrets? People who are strangers pretending to commit.

Therefore, let’s start genuinely being friends and spouses because Commitment Equals Communication.
