Lack of Communication could signal danger for emotional affair.

Good communication skills are absolutely vital in any successful relationship, whether it be in the workplace or in your personal relationship. ‘Communication’ is one of the most important words in the English language and without a doubt, one of the most important traits in any relationship. The basic concept of good communication is to express or exchange information and ideas by means of spoken words or written messages. This should also include attentive listening to gain a complete understanding of the message being conveyed.

Every healthy relationship needs a place of comfort and what they feel is their 'safe haven'. After an exhausting day in the world of frustration and disappointment, it is necessary to have that type of "safe haven". It isn't literally a factual place, it is more of an idea and a state of complete closeness as in having the feeling of 'you and me against the world'. It gives the couple a perfect notion that everything will be alright, as long as they have each other. This type of theoretic sanctuary that eases the stresses of work and the pressures of debts can be the greatest vaccination against daily conflict.

Ineffective communication and the lack of having this type of conceptual shelter is one of the main factors that contribute to the dissolution of many relationships.
Your personal relationship, as well as your home business could possibly fail without clear and concise communication between each of the parties involved. Inability to communicate effectively in a relationship can cause many problems for both personal and business connections, including the possibility of infidelity. The main reason that people cheat on their partners is because they are searching to fill a void in their relationship. The void that they have between them, whatever it may be, causes them to feel empty inside.

Once they start to feel alone and it seems that they have no one to talk to, that is when doubts invade their minds - such as thinking there is something wrong with themselves or that their relationship isn't what it should be. While the occasional doubt in a relationship is normal, if it happens too often it can lead to feelings of rejection and tension. The emptiness leads to feelings of loneliness and despair, which is also a common cause of depression.

During the initial realization of the communication break down, the person that isn't getting their need fulfilled, may try to express their feelings about it; stressing the importance to them in having that type of comfort. They usually describe it as a need, something that is required, something that is detrimental to what they envision and desire in a partner.

After they have tried to discuss the lacking quality, and nothing really changes between them, hopelessness sets in. They might try to reason with themselves and convince their minds that they don't really need it and will be fine without it. Some people may even tell themselves that they should just get a friend that will give them what they need emotionally. That's when the possibility becomes very real that they could have the closeness that they need with someone else. They may even set out to find a friend that they can talk to, possibly one of the opposite sex.

There would be an absolute danger of infidelity if they were to actually begin having this emotional bond/closeness with someone other than their partner.
Reaching a good level of communication is entirely possible and absolutely necessary in achieving a healthy relationship. Couples have to work together to rebuild and improve their communication in order for that safe haven to be present. Love is a two-way street, so both of them need to make sure to meet halfway in making the best relationship for all involved. Here are some ideas to keep in mind in order to fix or regain your safe haven:

• Be clear and specific when you are trying to convey a point in order to get your
  message across.
• Avoid sarcasm, rude comments, and hurtful remarks. Don't say
  anything that you wouldn't say if you weren't upset, because you will have
  regrets over having said it later.
• Be willing to say you are wrong. If you are wrong, then admit to it and also be willing to say you are sorry.
• Sit around the table and eat a meal together. Share stories of the day and your
  feelings on specific issues. Listen carefully to gain full understanding and
  give support when needed.

Spending quality time together can resolve many daily upsets and worries. This time spent together aids in settling problems and misunderstandings also.
Another good idea is to turn the television off every once in a while. Television is not conducive to conversation, of course, so when it's on most conversation will dwindle. As a result, the two people will watch the television and don't really talk to each other at all. They eventually become increasingly introverted, less willing to share feelings and emotions, and have little time or inclination to converse with each other.

In many homes it is rare for a family to sit around the table and eat a meal together. Marriage break-ups and domestic strife seem to be on the increase and the reason for this could be the lack of communication that is necessary. People have such busy lifestyles and schedules these days, sometimes it's difficult to find time to interact with each other. Family relationships used to be valued, sadly however, things have changed.

Be sure to show appreciation to your partner and also let them know when something is bothering you. Communicate with each other and explain why you sometimes feel unappreciated. Sharing feelings will possibly bring greater closeness.

Parents should encourage their children to marry a person that they truly enjoy talking with and are comfortable in sharing thoughts, because in their older years it will become an even greater asset to them having someone that gives them their 'safe haven'.
