Because, mutuality deals with what happens in communication when all the parties recognize that they are responsible for message and meaning. interpersonal communication and interpersonal relations are always mutual, they are never singular. it is always dialogue, it is never a monologue.

Mutuality is important in communication because it says we are working toward the same purpose or goal. It is usually a positive interaction and develops a great sense of trust. You feel that person is in your corner and will fight for you if needed. It allows greater satisfaction in a relationship.

There needs to be a respect from both sides for communication to work well.
