How are you at communicating clearly to your spouse? Do they really understand what you think? Do you find your spouse receptive to the things that you’re saying or is there confusion and a disconnect? That’s what we’re going to be looking at on this episode of Married By Design
We’ve been looking at the way to resolve conflict in a marriage relationship. This involves actually dealing with the damage of the argument and clearing the air so that you’re able to really communicate in a productive way. With the emotions, logs, and resentment put aside, you can begin to talk about the issues. Last week we looked at the idea of listening and how important it is to really develop that skill so that you can understand your spouse. As a couple, you need to sit down and discuss issues that need to be resolved. Going into that time, if you have a heart to really listen, it will go a long way to resolving issues and reaching unity as a couple. In this episode, we are looking at the art of communicating clearly.
Your homework, should you choose to accept it , is to set aside a time and work on communicating with your spouse. Don’t pick a hot topic, but pick something that you do want to communicate and go through this process and check to make sure that your spouse really understood what you have said.
