Comfort Zones Are So Cozy
They are what we cling to
Comfort zones are cozy aren’t they?
They are what we cling to when we are under stress and what we depend on in unrest.
They boast protection, peace and ease,
Yet, apathy appease.
Dreams dismantled, hopes deferred,
Vision blurred. Comfort.
Familiarity and the good old days.
The predictability of dependable ways.
Comfort Zones are where marriages go to die.
Why try?
We are made for more.
To grow and explore.
To defy comfort in every sphere
To live by faith year by year.
Give yourself the chance to be who you really are,
You've come so far, go beyond...
your comfort.

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.
