Interpersonal communication has taught me a lot of things when it comes to my relationship with my husband. There are three concepts that I would like to address. I would say that attraction, long-term commitment, and saying “I love you.” are the three concepts that plays an important role in my relationship. My looks was what drew me to my husband. I remembered being stopped on the second floor of the library by a gentleman who assumed that I looked like someone he knew from Ghana. I told him that I have never been to Ghana before and if that’s his way of trying to get to know me it is not working. He smiled and introduced himself.

Although I barely tell my husband that I love him, as a wife I buy him appreciation cards, cook his favorite Ghanaian soups, iron his clothes, once in a while, even though I am terrible at doing so and I would sometimes help cut his hair which looks horrible but he don’t mind going out for a day or two with his hair cut. I rather hear my husband tells me each day he loves me than me saying it to him. I got him to tell me “I love you” for a couple of weeks than he stopped. My husband way of saying “I love you” is by thanking me for supporting him and dealing with his unattractive side. His way of telling me he loves me is by making me breakfast while I am in bed, by carrying me to the bathroom, making sure I don’t lack anything and constantly assuring me that he is there for me no matter what. When it comes to my wellbeing, Benjamin makes sure I am safe. I asked him why “he don’t say to me that he loves me as often as he should?”. His respond was, “just because I don’t say it don’t mean that I don’t love you.” The best part of my husband saying he loves me is by singing to me in his Ghanaian dialect with a huge smile on his face while he watch me blushed. I remember my dad telling my husband that he spoils me way too much. In my relationship verbally altering the word is not as effective as the non-verbal part that goes with it. Overall my husband and I relationship has come a long way
