Communcation

The sermon Sunday Morning was called, "Maitaining the Biblical Marriage: Communication"

The basic premise was this: Husbands should, in all their communication with their wives, make them feel loved. Wives should, in all their communcation with their husbands, make them feel respected.

I challenged you all to have a serious conversation with your spouse, asking them how you are doing and what you can do better. I just wonder, if there's anybody out there, who did that and how it worked out.

I shared with my husband about your message on communication. You said that the men would not tell us women that their need to be repected is their most important core belief even over the need to be loved (which you said is the woman's most important core belief).

My husband said that he did not know whether he would agree with your assessment of the most important need of the man. However, I can tell through his actions I tend to agree with you.

He did totally agree with your comment about the bad 3 letter word - N A G. We decided to use a comical way to tell each other when we want the other to do something that we know he or she would not really want to do (such as take out the garbage [to use your example]).

We are going to say "this is your mission - if you choose to accept it" then say what we want the other to do.
