Lyon also told me that while confidence is the biggest turn on in a relationship, communication is the most bonding attribute in a relationship and that poor communication leads to a lot of problems. "Things are assumed, confused, and up in the air. This breeds hurt, stagnation, and divisiveness," she noted.
Lyon went on to say that while good communication in the relationship can be a turn on, poor communication "can seem like apathy and rejection, leaving the partner feeling insecure with the relationship and pushed away." If you're having trouble communicating with your partner, consider seeing a professional, either in individual therapy or in couples' counseling.
