Over-communicate. – I used to have a bad habit of not speaking my feelings. I played the standard “You should know why I’m mad” game, and that’s just downright unfair. Men are not wired like women, and they DON’T always know that they’ve been insensitive. I’m still growing in this area, and there are often times when my husband has to pry something out of me, but I’m trying to remember that I need to just communicate how I feel.
I always try to learn from other peoples mistakes. If someone has been there before and learned from their mistakes and are willing to give me advice and tips for the future… it doesn’t hurt to listen. I then weight that advice against the Bible and in prayer and let God be my ultimate guide. In this case the advice comes from a woman who has been married and then divorced. I do no want to travel down that road. When we got married we said it wasn’t even an option. I’d like to keep it that way by learning what I can and applying it to our marriage! I hope you get something out of this that you can apply to yours!
