Refresh Your Marriage in 31 Days

DAY 11 OF 31

"I like listening to you"

Every conversation can be dissected into six elements:
What I said.
What you said.
What I thought I had said.
What I thought you had said.
What you thought I had said.
What you thought you had said.

Most misunderstandings stem from the fact that people are bad at listening. And yet God has made a clear sign in creation. He has given us one mouth, but two ears. It would look really stupid to have to mouths where we have our ears and one ear underneath the nose. God obviously gave this a lot of thought.

Dear dude, please remember this: Your girl quite often only wants to share her sorrows and needs with you without hearing your cool advice. So prick up your ears, listen to her (without your thoughts digressing to the goal of the month), look into her beautiful eyes and give her your full attention. That’s love! This creates trust and a sense of deep acceptance.

MARRIAGE-BOOSTER
Give your spouse fifteen minutes in which your mouth is having a break, and your ears are fully open.
