Thursday, March 18, 2010

Here are some tips on how to be a better listener:

You need to listen when someone is talking.
Maintain EYE TO EYE contact.
Pay attention to your partner and be focus.
Do not interrupt.
Do not jump to conclusion or give solution or advise. Hear the full story first.
Keep an open mind. Do not judge. Do not look for "faults" in what your partner is saying.
Be loving and supportive.
Ask questions to clarify what you have heard.
Look out for the non-verbal communication – eye contact, tone of voice, facial expressions (smile, frown, disgust, tears, surprise, tears, rolling eyes etc)
Lastly, do bring your spouse to prayer.

We need to learn to commit all things to GOD. Be Blessed.
