Always be truthful. Good communication is based on truth. When we exaggerate the truth or distort it out of fear of rejection or fear of punishment, we are not only hindering good communication but also hurting ourselves and the other person. Obeying this command will go far toward establishing effective communication and strong relationships. Always be kind and loving.
Love is the foundation of all effective communication.
Love truly desires the good of the other person. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Following these guidelines will help you to strengthen weak relationships and forge new ones based on mutual respect.
