I feel that the relationship rule applies to this scenario where it is a statement of the redundancies observed at the relationship level, even over a diverse range of content areas. Everyone has their own understanding of what they think a good relationship is to them. This rule can be put simply as “I only give and I only accept respectful communication, or in other terms I do not give, nor do I accept abusive communication.”
I think that this rule has a very large role within nonverbal communication because it is about both actions and words. The rule is based on your tone of voice, no negative actions (rolling of eyeballs, name-calling or insults), and doesn’t use disrespect upon communication. This can be huge for a marriage because it keeps them in check in terms of having a safe and loving family. But we all know that this isn’t for anyone because we are human and we make lots of mistakes.
The way a person is raised can relate to how they act today. If someone is raised in a house full of vulgar language, drama, and hurtful behavior it could be hard for one to follow the Relationship Rule. Again we are human and we can adjust, learn and become a different person if you put your mind to it.
