When it comes to communicating as husband and wife, we need to be sure we keep our FOCUS in the right place. In this episode, we share a key biblical principle that will help you and your spouse really learn to communicate in a more healthy, Christ-honoring way.
Application Questions: Discuss with Your Spouse
1. What are some practical ways that you and your spouse can help each other remember and put into practice the Log and Speck principle?
2. What situations or types of conflict would make practicing this principle difficult? Discuss what steps you can take in the moment to make it easier.
3. Open up the bible and read Matthew 22:37-38 together. When you are tempted to focus on your spouse’s sin before your own, who are you making a decision to love the most? How so?
