Communication in Marriage

Communication in Marriage

The following represents responses from men and women in
a class on marriage. The questions are designed to help couples learn from the
opposite sex how to communicate love to one another through their actions.

Mens responses to how wives show support to their husbands

Support their efforts / Show appreciation
Words of support in what they are doing
Wives know your goals and share them
Family connections (help with). Men need help connecting because they are detached during the day

Womens responses on how husbands can be closer to their wives

Make them a priority
Confirmation with listening
Observing needs
Interested in what they are doing
Details not just summaries
Little unexpected surprises
Talking about the Lord together
Doing devotions and praying together

I put together the questions based upon similar questions in the book Love and Respect. Each chapter in the book has a similar list of questions that spouses can use to understand each other better. I highly recommend it.
