Listening to him





Ladies, how well do you listen when your husband speaks?


"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." ~Stephen R. Covey

*Do you listen wholeheartedly?
*Do you sincerely care about what he is saying?
*Could repeat what he said back to him?
or
*Are you ready to respond before he has finished talking?
*Are you looking him in his eyes?
*Are you thinking about your to-do-list instead of what he is saying?

I have a challenge for all you ladies.
For the next two weeks, when your man has something to tell you:
stop what you’re doing, listen, be still, look him in the eyes and acknowledge that you really heard him. You can only give your opinion if he asks for it.

It sounds easy, right?  Let’s do this ladies.

You’ll be amazed with the outcome. He will want to share his day with you more often because you show an interest. Have fun getting to know your man.

Proverbs 18:13 (KJV)
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.


~Wife

  1. What a great reminder and challenge. The Lord has recently prodded me about this, so your words are timely and Covey's are so spot on! Changing that! Visiting from Alabaster Jar Monday link up.
