Proper Communication: Both spouses may love each other dearly, but without proper communication, that love goes unnoticed and the result is often terrible and tragic!
Our Feelings When, We Don’t Communicate Or Miscommunicate
The Image of God!Communication is about Love! “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. “Therefore, what God has joinedtogether, let not man separate” Matthew 19:6
1. The Radio:One-Way Communication! 2. “Skype” Two-Ways Communication!
So, How Should We Communicate? 1. Verbal Communication 2. Non-Verbal Communication
Verbal CommunicationPlease Consider … • Changing Your Old Stereotypes • Improving Your Skills:LISTEN • Each Other’s Right for Self-Expression • Using Always the “I” Statements!
Verbal Communication Takes Time to Help Us Understand our Differences • For women, it’s an end in itself • For men, it’s more of a meanstowards a goal • For both, it builds mutual interest and trust
Communication & Listening “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” (James 1:19)
The Assertive “I” StatementsExercise: • “I” Feel …! • “I” Think …! • “I” Believe …! • “I” Need …!
2. Non-Verbal Communication • Facial Features & Body Language • “Other” Four Languages of Love: • Time Together! • Unexpected (Surprise) Gifts! • SilentHelp! • Messaging: (Dress; Cook; Initiatives …)
Negative Communication Patterns (1) • Interrupting • Stonewalling • Avoiding • Ignoring • Threatening
Negative Communication Patterns (2) • Mind Reading • Criticizing • Monopolizing/Polarizing • Cynicism • Passive Aggressiveness
Validation of Feelings:Your Prescription for Success! + Spot the Feeling + Address the Feeling: Examples: • “Yes, I understand how you feel”! • “You sound like you’re …”! • “You look like you’re …”! • “There’s something bothering you”!
The Outcome:Problem Solving Many Problems Can Be Avoided If: • We Communicate Our Feelings! Many Problems can Be Resolved If: • We Can Communicate Them Right!
