In face-to-face interactions, our style of communication includes both verbal and nonverbal cues. Author, B. Strong (2014), reports: “Even when you are not talking, you communicate by your silence (e.g., an awkward silence, a hostile silence, or a tender silence) (Strong, 2014, p. 232).” On the other hand, phone conversations, online and electronic interactions are restricted only to verbal communication through written words. Effectively, there are some situations in which choosing a face-to-face interaction, using both verbal and non-verbal communication, is important to making a point.
In either case, verbal or nonverbal, I believe that the best way to achieve effective messaging is by choosing the best style of communication, being direct, and, respect for the person with whom you are communicating.

For this reason, I’d communicate in a face-to-face interaction so that there is no ambiguity in our agreement to share household duties. Eventually, if she does not respond cooperatively, on her own, I would then communicate my plans to move out.

Consequently, words communicate the basic content of the message, while, facial expression and body language express the feelings and attitudes of the speaker.
In close or important relationships, whether personal or business, it is important to engage with face-to-face interactions in-order-to communicate using both verbal and non-verbal cues. Still, there are other situations where verbal or non-verbal communication alone is sufficient to get my point
