Communication comprises both verbal and non-verbal types. Verbal communication involves talking and texting, while body language is one of the ways of communicating non-verbally, as body language is the use of physical expression, actions, and manners to communicate rather than voicing it. The elements of body language are facial expression, touch, gesture, use of space, posture, eye movement, and more.

The tone of voice can be carefully selected as formal, informal, humorous, serious, optimistic, motivational, respectful, and assertive depending on the type of message to be sent out, the personality and mood of your spouse at the time, plus the channel (text, voice, video, gesture, etc.) you have chosen to communicate your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Language-use is very important in a marital relationship, as it can stand as a communication barrier if it is not clear and simple.

Simplicity is a virtue and not a weakness

Many a time, the barrier to effective communication is not an intellectual gap but ambiguity. For effective communication to take root in a marital relationship, intimate partners must embrace simplicity in their communication style.

The quality of feedback gotten in the process of communication depends on how well the information or message is understood. For this reason, the message to be passed to your spouse has to be passed with all simplicity.

The process of effective communication consists of a sequence of actions that must be taken into consideration so as to make communication successful.
