Disconnection between people can turn in connection with the help of non-violent communication. Nonviolent communication has four components: observation, feelings, needs and appeal. Skills for managing conflicts are extremely important aspect within the process of interpersonal communication. This study identifies the principles of Theory of Choice in interpersonal communication within the partnership and describes a feeling of satisfaction by interpersonal communication in the relationship as well as defines the patterns that impair quality relationship. The study sample are 15 couples in intimate relationship and depth semi-structured interviews are conducted where partners are interviewed separately one after the other. Implementation of interpersonal communication into the framework of the theory of choice resulted with the increased accuracy. Results of this study provide a better insight into the possibility of efficient application of choice theories in interpersonal processes, which can help teachers, parents, and educators to develop quality interpersonal communication skills and non-violent communication with children as well as stimulate high-quality communication habits in the very beginning of the development of social skills.
