Communication
The way to a happy marriage is supposedly through good communication. But most people don’t know how to speak what matters, let alone to listen well and respond.
Think about your greater purpose in communicating with your spouse. While most daily talk is simply to share information or discuss less-than vital decisions, try to be fully present with your spouse even when discussing the most mundane of details.
Make it your committed goal this week to deeply investigate your communication—both how you listen and how you speak.
Have you made it a practice to share with each other when you’re distressed or excited? How about when it’s your spouse who’s distressed or excited you?
Have you made the goal of communication with your spouse developing greater compassion for one another? What obstacles would you say stand in your way of doing this better?
| Listen to prayer |
Find peace, purpose and strength with Jesus in prayer.

This reading plan helps you make significant progress and possibly avoid conflict by spending time thinking about what we hoped for most at the start.
