Am I Talking Too Much? And Other Questions You Should Ask To Become a Better Listener

Send us Fan MailThere are two parts to communicating, but most of us are only good at one! In communication, we talk and we listen. As much as we work on our delivery of expressing our thoughts and our feelings, we often forget that listening is a skill that also requires attention to detail. This episode we dive into the other side of communication, share about our struggles in the area of listening, and develop some strategies for tuning into the needs of our spouse.SUPPORT OUR MINISTRYPlease prayerfully consider becoming a patron and supporting our ministry!

By God’s design there exists a natural complementarity and attraction between man and woman. But these still have to be developed and fostered by loving attention to each other’s needs, and above all by recourse to the graces received in the Sacrament. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth and Love, is poured out upon the married couple in a special way in the Sacrament, and he will help them in their desire to overcome personal shortcomings and selfishness and to achieve ever greater communion in Christ.”- St. John Paul the Great Homily 1985FREE RESOURCESFertility Awareness Cheat SheetRelationship Check-UpThank you all for your ongoing support.
