Communication is one of the most important issues in relationships. Let's see some tips that help improve communication with the children and with the spouse:
A.- Learn to listen.
"19For this, my beloved brothers, every man be ready to hear, slow to speak, slow to be angry ...". Santiago 1.19
Listening is an art that is learned. Most people suffer from "deafness", therefore, there are so few listeners in the world today. We must hear before speaking.
"13The one who answers without having heard, the word is fatuity and shame." Proverbs 18.13
Listening is an art that is learned. Most people suffer from "deafness", therefore, there are so few listeners in the world today.
Learning to listen helps us:
• Understand the person.
• Minister and help the person.
• Relief of problems.
B.- Speak truthfully and with transparency.
The Lord said: "Let it be our yes, yes and our no, no. Everything else comes from sin. " Transparency frees future wounds and resentments. The truth always prevails, and the truth said in love hurts, but brings healing to the heart.
C.- Know the love language of your spouse and your children.
This is knowing or learning what the spouse likes, the children, what makes them feel loved. There are five languages of love, both for the spouse and for the children:
• Words of affirmation and encouragement
• Physical touch, caresses, hugs
• Service acts
• Quality time (intimate communication is achieved there)
• Gifts
