Communication is one of the most important aspects of the human race. Man has developed many different ways of communicating with one another. The advancement that has taken place in this field shows how important communication is. We have the radio, television, minidisks, cassettes, cd's, cell/mobile phones, computers etc.

Let us examine just one of these, the computer, this can be a very fast and effective way of communicating with one another, especially if you have access to the Internet through broad band. Experience however has shown that no matter how much money you spend, your 'high spec' PC soon becomes ineffective and obsolete. Most people move along with the flow of creativity.

How flexible and creative are you in communicating with your spouse? Make it fast, effective, full of fun. Your marriage needs to be the most important part of your life, be prepared to do your best in this area. Communicate regularly and in different ways, you could use email while you are at work, the cell/mobile phone text messages. Meet together for lunch one of these days (you sure can find the time when you realize how valuable your spouse is to you). You can communicate through both expensive and inexpensive gifts, flowers, e-cards - post a card to his/her office. Put a love note in your spouse's purse/wallet.

Do not forget that the load of information you process in your marriage is increasing and becoming more sophisticated, if your system of communication is old, slow, ineffective and clumsy it might soon crash. Find out from your spouse how well you are doing in this area, you might need an urgent overhaul or total refurbishment. Make provision for regular updates.

The truth is that this has helped us in our own marriage, and we can say we are getting better each day. Learn to perform a overhaul when necessary and maybe a complete renewal to avoid a crash.
