Context

Communication is critical for successful relationships. One of the most important parts of  communication that you don't hear alot about is context. The context in which things are seen or said are critical and I have seen many an argument and even relationships destroyed because of things taken out of context. A harmless hug, look, greeting or phone call when taken out of context can take on a life of its own. Always check for the context in which things are said before leaping to conclusions. Try to get a handle of what kind of day a person may be having and also what kind of day you are having.
