Connect. It is what brought us together. Then life gets in the way.
I love the quote by Jeff Daly- Two monologues don't make a dialogue.
This was something I needed to hear. I have a Bachelor Degree in Communication though you'd never know it. I interrupt. Jump to conclusions without letting the other person finish.
What I needed to hear was the great info on the difference in how men and women process information;
Men tend to be literal,
Women naturally multi-task,
Women use more words...
These are near and dear to my wife's and my heart. I have needed to learn to see gray. Also, my wife can do two things at same time (listen to me and hammer away at PR release for Habitat for Humanity on PC). My wife also uses more words (back to that communication degree, if I think I got the point, but she's not done, learn to keep listening, as more often than once my first guess was wrong).
Phil's final advice is to pray together. This is a great section and is likely a change, it is for us, and not easy.
