Sec 1 LA E-Learning (Interpersonal) Interview

Topic of the Interview : The necessity to communicate in a relationship.


Intro : Communication is a process of transfering information from one entity to another. Communication does not mean that it must be verbal, there can also be non-verbal communication, for example communication using body language, like hand signs, eye contact, touch, etc. Today I will conduct an interview on Mr Wang Ri Zhao on the topic, the necessity to communicate in a relationship.


Thank you Mr Wang for attending this interview.


Ques

The first question I am going to ask you is also the most important quetion in this whole interview. Do you think communication is important for a couple to maintain their lovely relationship?


Ans

I personally think, and in fact I think all couple agrees with the point that communication is important for their relationship.. If we do not communicate well with each other, how could we know each other's character, personality, their strangths and their weaknesses. By not being to understand each other, how could a couple has a lonlasting love. There would be quarrels, fights and all kinds of negative things happening that might affect the relationship of the couple.


Ques

Mr Wang, so do you mean that the divorce rates would drop if couples can communicate with each other better?


Ans

Definitely, by communicating better, you would be able to understand your partner better. With greater understanding to your partner, you would be able to adapt to his/her likings or the things he/she dislikes. There would be lesser trivial quarrels happening. Most of the time it is not big or serious quarrels that caused a coulple to fall out, however they are those tiny-weeny trivial ones. By having lesser trivial quarrels happening, the couple's relationship would improve.


Ques

You know, Mr Wang, in this modern and fast-paced big city Singapore, people often have to work over-time, so what if they have no tome to communicate, wouldn't their relationship be affected.


Ans

Actually, I do not quite agree with the phrase "no time". Athough you may be busy, I am sure time can still be squeezed out for you to communicate with your partner. For example , spending just five minutes of your time before sleep chatting with your partner about the things that happened today can be also a form of comunication. Or if you are really so busy, try spending more time with your partner on the weekends, like going for stroll together in the park or having dinner at the restaurant. What I would like to say is that, just ry spending every spare time you have communicating with your partner.


Ques

Mr Wang, I have friends that also communicate with their wives, however they still had a bad marriage, how do you explain about this.


Ans

Yes, communication is important, however you must also know how to communicate well with your partner or else communication would become mis-communication.


Ques

Can you give us examples of mis-communication.


Ans

Some of the common mis-communication are, being negative about things and start complaining your partner, not trusting your parner and start jumping into conclusions, not showing respect to your partner.


Ques

To prevent a bad marriage, do you think that we should take note of how your partner communicates with you when you decide on whether to marry him/her or not?


Ans

Yes, of course, if you cannot communicate well with your partner before marriage, you should not marry him/her as after marriage, the communication between you and your partner would be even worse, thus leading to a bad marriage.


After so many questioon-and-answers, I believe that our conclusion would be, "communication between couples is necessary for relationship.


Once again, a big thank you to Mr Wang.


BYE-BYE
