Art of Listening

I sure could use being reminded of this every now and then :(

Listen and Learn

There's a saying that God gave us two ears and only one mouth for a reason...perhaps He expects us to only speak half as much as we're supposed to listen. And listening is crucial in marriage. If you're like me when you're discussing issues with your wife, I'm often thinking about what I'm going to say and how I'm going to respond rather than just listening to what she is saying. True listening is hard, not easy. But make a concerted effort to purely listen. You may be surprised at what you've been missing.
