Part 3 - Can You Hear me Now?...Good!

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale.

Every bad relationship/marriage has its root cause in lack of/or poor communication. Communication in marital relationship is a continuous process, which must be clear and appropriately understood by both parties.

Communication breakdown is the first sign of marital disaster. Among the complaints we hear are “She just doesn’t understand me” or “He never listens to me”… Good/healthy communication is an art that must be learned, a skill to be mastered. It does not happen automatically, even in marriage.

Many couples talk “at” each other but don’t talk “to” each other. Just because they are talking doesn’t mean they are communicating well. Some couples only talk by arguing, make critical statements or negative comments.

An environment conducive to great communication (like growing a nice garden) must be built and nurtured deliberately and with great care, openness, trust & grace…for talking about the good things and easier to talk about tougher issues when they arise.

It is impossible to have any kind of healthy relationship without good communication, whether with our spouses, fiancées, other people or our relationship with God.

My prayer is that, in all our relationships, the grace to be more attentive, to listen more and value what others are saying, will be abundantly ours, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
