Have you ever had your spouse say, "You just don't get it," and felt like you failed despite your best efforts to understand them? Or perhaps you find yourself in repetitive arguments where no progress seems to be made.

In this recording, we’re diving into the art of understanding your spouse better and making them feel truly understood. One of the deepest desires we all have is to be understood, and your role as a husband or wife is to fulfill that need for your spouse.

You'll learn how to:

1. **Choose to Listen**: Focus your attention entirely on your partner.

2. **Ask Nonjudgmental Questions**: Seek to understand more about their feelings and experiences.

3. **Paraphrase for Clarity**: Ensure you’ve understood their message correctly.

4. **Validate Their Feelings**: Let them know their emotions are reasonable and make sense.

5. **Give Suggestions if Asked**: Offer empowering suggestions rather than commands.

Understanding and applying these skills can transform your marriage, making your spouse feel loved and valued. Remember, God understands us deeply, as Psalm 139:1-2 reminds us: “O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thoughts afar off.”
