Communication important

MANY people fear their spouse.
This happens because of the continuous ignorance of listening and following instructions.
When a spouse fails to listen, it hurts the other. There is a saying that “a good speaker is silver, but more than that a good listener is gold”.
Therefore, the messenger feels that she or he does not receive the gold.
As a result, they do not talk and discuss issues affecting their
relationship and children face-to-face.
There is communication breakdown even though they live in the same house and room.
The urge of discussing the issues burns them deep inside.
It causes them to feel down emotionally.
This further affects their performance in the workplace and other areas.
However, they pretend to live a normal life.
If you are facing this same problem, then you take note of this fact: Marriage becomes perfect when there is effective communication.
Without a good communication, the marriage may get cold and eventually die.
Therefore, if you are this person who fears expressing your mind to your spouse, do not fear that he or she will not listen to you.
Do not fear that your spouse will talk back at you or shout at you when you say something.
Do not fear that your spouse will walk away from you before you say something.
You must fear that you haven’t made time available to be with your spouse and talk.
Therefore, from now, I want you to make time available to be with your spouse and kids and just have some talks.
I tell you, when you give your time, your spouse will give you the gold (listening).
