Communication

I used to think I was really good at communication....that was until I had a friend who was a lot better at it than I was. Whenever there was a tiny disagreement or something just didn't feel right they wanted to talk and call or skype me to make sure they got to the bottoms of things and resolved the problem. A lot of the time it was good. However I think there is too much communication sometimes. There are some things that you just need to let blow over. You don't need to discuss every tiny detail of things.
        One thing I thought was interesting about our discussion was that there used to be communication classes people had to take to make sure they had strong marriages. However the majority of communication is not with words. It is with how you say things and your body language. So when these people took their classes it did nothing to help the marriage. I think it even made some worse. I know if I took a communication course I would probably analyze everything too much and end up making ever more problems because I am not decoding things right. I think there is a fine line between too much communication and just enough. But which is worse? Too much communicating or not enough?
