Until it isn't anymore. For the sake of argument ... we have the relationship skills that get us up to a certain level. We start out on the same page. We're communicating in a real way. It's easy. However, we both grow. We both change. It is just life. We, however, reach the limits of our relational skills and our original relationship arrangement. We recognize the things that our current arrangement lacks. The Stouffers has grown old. And now we're back where we started.

You don't know you need to change your communication approach until it doesn't work.
