Poor communication is a basic cause of conflicts within any relationship. When you move poor communication into a relationship where a couple is living under the same roof together and saving the marriage is at the top of the priority list.
When you say one thing but mean something else that is poor communication. Poor communicatin is not only saying the wrong thing or saying the right thing the wrong way. Sometime poor communication is not talking at all.
The key to a happy marriage is better communication. To understand communication correctly we need to identify what communication is not.

I agree that communication is one of teh key points and key thingsd to work on and consider in a relationship. It can make or break it. And not just in marriages or romantic relationships but friendships and families , etc, etc.
Saying one thing when you really mean something else is not only poor communication but I find it rude. Its like wispering right infront of someone or lieing to them. It should never be done in my opinion.
Not talking at all - this, to me, is shunning, or ignoring or giving the cold shoulder and again is rude and a lie by omittion. And by speaking to the person but just not bringing it up is just as bad because feelings begin to fester beneath the satin skin and boil over from time to time. Making things worse.
To understand communication is to understand what it is not, yes, but we also have to assign something to it.
Communication is trying.
Communication is speaking.
Communication is understanding.
Communication is...???
