Improving Communication

Some dear friends of ours taught us a communication tool to use in our marriage. Tasha and I use this tool quite frequently. It helps us to express our thoughts and needs.

Ground rules:
There is no right or wrong answer. Allow your spouse time to respond. You may not interrupt them. Make eye contact with them. Listen to what they are saying. Do not be thinking about other things, including how to respond to what they are saying.

Exercise - Two Simple Questions
Question 1: How do you feel?
Question 2: What do you need?

By asking these two questions you can gain insight into the mind and heart of our spouse.
