Masking Poor Communication

Who could know me better than my spouse or my closest and dearest friends? Is question that you may ask yourself sometimes after reading the title of the article "Close relationships sometimes mask poor communication". Closeness in relationships is not always a key component in communicating effectively. I think that sometime the closer we are to someone the less likely we are to communicate effectively. To summarize the article is basically stating that often we feel that the closer we are to someone the better we communicate and that is not always the truth.
