Effective Communication Skills for Couples from the Perspective of Religious Teachings and Psychology

The most important way of communication for couples is dialogue. Conversation includes the sender and receiver of a message through the transmission channel, which is divided into verbal and non-verbal conversation depending on the type of message. There are two transmission channels in verbal communication, which are the transmission channel of speaking and listening. Since message and the transmission channel are the most important elements of verbal conversation, couples are required to know and be aware of a correct and appropriate verbal message and also acquire the necessary skills for correct use of these channels. After presenting the introductory points, the present study discusses the characteristics of a correct and appropriate verbal message, as well as the acquisition of skills necessary to make the right use of the transmission channel of conversation in order to establish an effective dialogue between a couple from the perspective of religious teachings and psychology.
