Listening to each other is critical to a healthy marriage. A spouse might often say something but mean something else. Ask questions. Their response to your questions might clarify what they really meant.
How do you know God loves you? In human relationships, we feel loved when the other person speaks to us in our love language. The same is true with God. Learn more by reading Dr. Gary Chapman's book, God Speaks Your Love Language.
All couples will have conflicts. Learning how to solve conflicts without arguing is key. It's essential for a healthy marriage. Learn how to listen to each other with empathy and respect.
