Save Your MarriageDay 3
Listen without fixing
Today's talk · preview
Day 3. Let's talk about how you listen.
When your spouse tells you about a hard day, what do you do? Be honest. Most of us jump right in. You should do this. Why don't you try that. It's not a big deal.
We think we're helping. But a lot of the time, your spouse doesn't want a fix. They want to feel heard. And when you rush to solve it, what they hear is, hurry up and stop feeling this.
the rest is in the app

- GiveTake one small task off your spouse's plate today
- TalkWhen your spouse shares a problem, say "that sounds hard" and ask one question instead of giving advice
- GrowCount how many times you want to interrupt
- JournalWhat did you learn when you just listened?
