Listening is one of the most important skills many people lack because people prefer and are eager to talk about their feelings and emotions without trying to ask or listen to other people’s thoughts.
As speaking is important listening also has a lot of benefits which are;
Listening grows relationships.
Listening to people around us, especially our friends, family, or partners gives them the chance to confide in us because they feel understood and heard.
In a romantic relationship there will always be an issue that can destroy the relationship probably because of what the other partner has done unconsciously but the moment you give a listening ear to the other partner it can save your relationship from destroying.Listening grows business.
