The Challenge:
Many people like to talk more than they like to listen. Are you one of them? The Bible describes as foolish anyone who is "replying to a matter before he hears it." (Proverbs 18:13) So before you talk, listen. Why? I prefer it when my husband doesn't try to fix my problems right away," says Kara, who has been married for 26 years. "He doesn't even have to agree or figure out why the problem arose. I just want him to listen to me and validate my feelings."
On the other hand, some men and women hesitate to express themselves and feel uncomfortable if their mate pressures them to talk about their feelings. Lorrie, who recently married, discovered that her husband takes a long time to share his feelings. "I have to be patient," she says, and wait for him to open up."
