Lend Me Your Ears
Communication is a two way street. One part of communication is the clear and honest expression of thoughts, feelings and ideas. The second part is in receiving the thoughts, feelings and ideas of others. Both aspects must be involved to frame good communication. Yet, it is the listening that commonly presents the greatest problem. Each person must care enough to listen.
A good listener is one of the sexiest things a spouse can be. You may not be a born listener. Being a good listener is an ability that you can develop. It does not come over night or without intentional effort. Observe this 5 minute lesson on listening.
