12 Days To A Love That Lastsနမူနာ

Communication
 

Now it's time to get into the real nuts and bolts of building a love that lasts: communication.
 

This is the big one. The important one. The one you always hear about, until maybe you're sick of it and respond, exasperated, "Yes, I know! Communication is important in marriage!"
 

But there's a reason you always hear about the necessity of communication: because it really is that important.

The thing about communication, though, is that it isn't just about being heard – it's also about hearing. It's about actively listening while your spouse is talking so that you truly hear what they have to say – and them responding in kind.
 

But communication isn't just about talking, either. Dialogue is important, but it's not the only part of communication. You communicate through your face, through your tone of voice – even through your actions.
 

If you want to build   a love that lasts, you have to learn to communicate with your spouse, in as many forms of communication as you can. Fortunately, you don't have to learn this on your own – God is here to help you. Pray, read scripture, and enlist   His help to get you on the road to blissful communication.
 

  It really is that important.
