Family Communication- Episode 5
This episode on family communication touched on communication between couples, with the kids and family members. Both my husband and I had different perspectives to share.
I want to start off with asking the question of do you listen to respond or listen to acknowledge? Myself being the wife wanted to discuss the importance of understanding each other’s love language and apology language when in a relationship. This is key because if you don’t know what your partner considers love and affection to be then you may feel that you are not on the same page or in sync with your significant other at times. My husband and I did the love language test and discovered that his love language is “quality time, followed by touch” and mines was “acts of service followed by quality time”. Once these were brought out it makes more since on what means the most to each other. We also discussed the 5 different apology languages and how if you don’t know what your partner needs to hear then you could be missing the mark and stuck in a crazy 8 cycle. Have you ever wondered why you can’t seemed to forgive and move on from hurt? Well perhaps it is because you don’t feel resolution has taken place because you have not heard what you needed to hear for acceptance to you to so that you can move forward.
Technology plays a big part in family communication these days. Do you text? Or do you make a phone call? Which is your preference? We have created a family group chat with our kids to keep everyone in the loop. Our second son, third of the children created the group chat because he was tired of getting grilled why he only told mom something or only dad something and the other parent didn’t know about it. This was a genius move on his part and have worked out well for us.
Healthy team building family projects are good ways to keep open family communication going. Anytime you can create opportunities for the family to talk is great. We enjoy having family meal time together and catching up with what the kids have going on in their lives. Good communication is so important to have within families.
