As you begin your married life together, what kind of communication will you have in your home? Will it nurture and support your relationship? Will it help you to continue to feel and nourish the love that you felt on your wedding day?
Some thoughts to consider
What kind of body language will you use? What will you do to avoid having arguments and confrontations?
One of the factors that helps a woman to be a happy mother is if or when she has a happy family. An important ingredient of happy families and good relationships is effective communication. This means good listening, suitable and productive topics of conversation and words that nurture and build up each member of the family.
What is effective communication?
There are so many details that go into effective communication. If you are serious about wanting to bring blessing to your family, then it is crucial to focus on making sure that there is no gossiping or forbidden speech. Spending time talking about others can create so many unnecessary problems from wasting time that could be better spent on more productive topics, to creating a situation that results in jealousy, to upsetting someone or even leading to arguments.
So many problems can be avoided when we learn how to use our speech effectively and appropriately. The laws of what kind of speech is permitted, what is forbidden and how to develop healthy communication is very detailed.
Sharing a new series to learn about permitted speech
In order to help you with this process, we have begun a series of Shiurim, which can be found on my YouTube Channel. The topic is really a huge one, as a result we are starting off with working systematically through a book written by a friend of mine, Bob Burg together with Lori Palatnik. Watch the videos below to find out what book we are learning from and how to change the negative habit of gossiping.
How often do you stop to think about content of your conversations? Can you use your time more effectively or even save time by talking about different topics? How often to you repeat or rehash old stories or situations?
I hope you have enjoyed the videos shared so far. Please sign up and follow the series of Shiurim. Together we can help to make this world a better place, starting off with improving our speech and communication. In doing so may we merit to enjoy close, special relationships that last a lifetime and beyond.
