ACHIEVING AWESOME COMMUNICATION IN MARRIAGE

Often the assumptions we make about each other are harsh and untrue. We love to assume the best about ourselves and the worst about others. We judge others by their behavior and ourselves by our best intentions. Assuming things about your spouse will set you up for miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Invite the Holy Spirit to convict you of any unfair assumptions you’ve been making about your spouse.
Write your assumptions down. At the end of the day confess them to your spouse. Let them know you want to do better and that moving forward, you want to start assuming the best about them.
Clarifying questions can be a great tool to overcome assumptions. Ask questions like: “Why did you do that?”, “Help me understand”, “Here is what I hear you saying (insert what you think they are saying). Is that what you’re trying to say? I want to understand.”

Read:
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

How good it feels to be heard and understood?
Give that gift to your spouse by seeking to understand them and truly listening.

The Bible tells us to consider others as better than ourselves, to sacrificially serve those around us, to walk in humility. If we are to do this we have to lay down the urge to push our own agenda and words. Instead, we have to seek to understand first and seek to be understood second.

What is one practical thing you can do to become a better listener?
The next time the two of you are in a disagreement, what are some things you can do to best understand your spouse?
Ask your spouse how you can be a better listener and how you can grow in seeking to know and understand them.

Read:

“A fool hath no delight in understanding, But that his heart may discover itself.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

ACHIEVING AWESOME COMMUNICATION IN MARRIAGE

One small, simple, daily act of obedience is using your words wisely with your spouse. It’s not always easy, but it is simple.

Sit down and think about your daily communication with your spouse. Prayerfully reflect and think through this: How often do you communicate with your spouse? Through what means? Are your words kind? Is your tone kind? Are you being intentional about your small daily communications with your spouse?

Ask God to help you control your tongue and avoid language that tears your spouse down.
Ask your spouse what kinds of things tear them down and how you can grow in this area in your marriage.

Ask your spouse what kinds of things they love to hear you say to them.

“I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Values of Marriage

Spend time together seeking ways to share in the good of your desires. Be reflective in the ways you can develop greater Christian maturity in your marriage. Pause for a few minutes and consider: where does my comfort prevent US growth? Be very mindful of growing your marriage in a way that puts God on display in His glory.

Read:

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This 2024 (For Me)

AIM to SPEND not SAVE…

SPEND for…
Travels and Memories
Properties and Investments
Protection…
Giving and Sharing…

( …but remember, SPEND according to your capacity, beyond that is sinning… you are Spending out of Envy 🙂 )

Life becomes shorter, why keep and save when you can enjoy life and leave good memories…

The only saving you need is
RELATIONSHIP…KEEP real FRIENDS avoid the TOXIC Ones.

But the most important is…
(For Us)

You Spent, you Saved but do you have ASSURANCE? Where to Spend your life after enjoying this temporary world?

Know the Reason for this Season.
SPEND time knowing the ONE that sacrificed and offers Life after Death.
You have Insurance BUT do you have ASSURANCE?

”And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.“
‭‭
1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬
.this is the best SPENDING and BEST PROTECTION you will get 🥰
