LEARN TO LISTEN TO YOUR PARTNER AND SHARE OTHER PERSON'S VIEWS
Effective communication requires that when one person is talking, the other should listen. For either of the couple to express their feelings, there must be that feelings of warmth, kind reception and effective listening. You should not put your spouse off by interrupting, changing the topic, or walking away; in other words, you are simply saying, "I am not interested". You need to listen and understand the situation before you give any advice. Give your partner the opportunity to unveil his/her anxieties, or the chance to tell you everything before you come out with ready-made answers or solutions.
Husband and wife should encourage each other by giving sound advice especially the husband. This will help the husband to make wise decisions, as two are better than one [Eccl 4:9]. Decision-making is a big problem in the home, many husbands find it difficult to allow their wives to contribute in decision making in the home. They do not listen to their wives at all. Such men make a lot of mistakes more than the husband who allows his wife to talk and share in decision making in the home. This topic is special discussed for the married couples.
