Please understand that these are two very different things. You can talk to one another and never communicate. It happens all the time. Talking to one another is just that, a one-way process happening from two different points. Communicating is actually active listening, combined with respect, understanding, openness and vulnerability. This is what makes communication so powerful. When we communicate with one another, we truly share with and in one another. These are the building blocks of loving, respectful and lasting relationships. Try it, it takes practice, but once you get going, you will never regret doing it.
