In today's marriage podcast, we talk about the importance of what we say and how we say it. Often times in marriage we can be in a conversation and completely forget what we are talking about and what we are trying to accomplish. It is important in difficult conversations to have a purpose in mind with each conversation. Are we attempting to solve an issue, are we being present and simply offering a listening ear etc. And the how we communicate with our spouse is equally important. Tone, body language, and eye contact can all be key elements in how we communicate. Not all conversations will lead to a resolution which is why the "How" becomes so important.
