Communication
"COMMUNICATION"
As long as there is communication, there is hope for any relationship. There are many barriers and bridges involved in communication. One barrier is excessive noise, it is epidemic. It is nearly impossible to communicate with the television, stereo, and video games vibrating the home. Excessive schedules, working too many hours, causing relationships to drift. One major barrier is foolish pride, "A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." (Prov. 29:23). It is hard to communicate with someone who already knows it all. Dishonesty hinders people from listening to a word you say. Instead of listening, the hearer is busy doing, "Stinken-Thinkin." Selfishness is another barrier. "Its my way or the highway." This provides only a one way communication.
The bridges to communication are to eliminate the excessive noise, and spend more quality time just sharing from the heart. While, pride, dishonesty, and selfishness are barriers, humility, honesty, and maturity are bridges to communication. Forgiveness is an important bridge. Good listening skills are important. Developing mutual interests to share and talk about help. It has been said that communication is 55% body language and facial expression, while 38% is vocal tone and inflection, and only 7% are the actual words used.
It is very difficult to have good communication with your wife or children unless there is good communication with God as a couple and family. Family devotions are an important key to good communication. Sharing prayer requests keeps everyone informed about the welfare of one another.
Marital communication is a three-way conversation, if God’s not talking, He’s listening! Dwell together with understanding (or knowledge); hear one another out, respectfully. I Peter 3:7, "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered."
