Listening is a huge part of communication! Samuel said to God, “Speak, your servant is listening”. You have my full and undivided attention. This would be a great way to listen to your spouse. My suggestion is that when you’re talking, make sure your spouse actually heard you. How often have you had this conversation, They say, “I have no idea of what you’re talking about”, and you say, “But I told you”. Telling someone something and them actually being tuned in are two different things. If you’re talking on let’s say station 97.1 but my thoughts are tuned in to 98.3, I didn’t hear a word you said! It’s not intentional, I wasn’t tuned in. Make sure they are tuned in and you’re on the same station lol! Then listen fully to the other person. Don’t interrupt, object, defend yourself, finish the sentence, etc. Just hear them out. “Speak, your servant is listening”! Have a great weekend ~~ Bill
