5. Daily communication
Again, this seems like a given, and yet so many couples struggle in this area. We need to TALK — with words — to one another. Put down the phone. Turn off the television. Close the laptop. We must remove distractions when it comes to effective communication with our spouse. Give him/her your eyes. I struggle with this too sometimes. God made us to crave connection, and in this day and age, we are more connected than ever. However, nothing replaces face-to-face conversation. Let’s give our spouse our BEST ATTENTION — not a half-hearted glance from a device. Friends, let’s put it all away and share our heart with our spouse. Dream together. Laugh together. Cry together. That daily heart-to-heart conversation is the cornerstone of true intimacy. For more on effective communication in marriage, read “The Most Common Mistake Women Make in Marriage”.
