Did you ever think that your spouse has no hidden agenda?Maybe this has been said to you. “I just want you to be happy!”
What a sweet and sincere statement. But why is it that we can turn it around and make it sound like there’s strings attached?

My sweetheart echoes that loudly while I was packing and getting ready for vacation.
In a millisecond, I had twisted the statement to be all about what he wanted from me.
Not ever did I pause long enough to hear his concern and sweetness in the statement.
Oh no!! I was the one being judgmental expecting him to ramble off what he needed from me.
However, he was truly in it for me.
How much are you twisting your spouse’s statements? Are you assuming one meaning, when your spouse is expressing another meaning?
This can get us all in a lot of trouble in our marriages (in fact, in any relationship)!
What can you do to hear the heart of your spouse?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Listen with no assumptions!
We are too quick to put words in our spouse’s mouth. So one must learn to listen with no assumptions.
- Be grateful for the communication.
- Be present in the shared moments.
- Connect the words spoken.
Listen with no assumptions.
“Live. Love. IMPACT!!!”
