Document Summary
Task for couples: establish communication patterns that promote intimacy and. Manage conflict intentional and transactional communication intimacy that you experience in a relationship influences communication and how you frame and send messages (through your behavior, tone, posture) intimacy and communication are both part of the process. Exchange of information in the form of messages. Symbols - words i like you , i like your hair that way . Transactional patterns - behaviors that accompany words, interactional patterns that occur, meta-level communications. Form follows function! (what the hell does that mean?) Intentional communication as opposed to the ongoing exchange of messages. All communication provides information about self, other and relationship. Contains informations about how you see yourself, how you see the other, and how you define your relationship. Everything you"re doing is sending a message that"s either building or eroding intimacy. Ex: opening a jar for someone angrily, through that communication of how disgusted and annoyed you are with them.
