SOWING SEEDS OF COMMUNICATION IN YOUR MARRIAGE: Words are like - TopicsExpress



          

SOWING SEEDS OF COMMUNICATION IN YOUR MARRIAGE: Words are like seeds. They start out small and grow into something big. If a person plants words of anger, indifference, criticism, impatience, or insensitivity in his marriage, the fruit of those words will be lack of intimacy and warmth, loss of harmony and unity, and the silencing of laughter and joy. These seeds can grow into something big enough to choke out everything else around them. One of the biggest problems in many marriages is a lack of communication. Wives say, “My husband doesn’t really hear what I am saying. He doesn’t listen.” Husbands say, “My wife doesn’t understand me. She misinterprets things I say.” This comes about because men and women think differently. It’s one of the ways we complete one another. If a man and a woman inevitably see things from different perspectives, then it stands to reason that they should ask God to help them both see things from His perspective. That way they can see them together, from the same viewpoint. In a garden of a marriage relationship, there will always be harvest time. “Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7). If we don’t like the crop we are reaping, then it’s probably time to plant seeds of a different nature. Seeds are planted through actions, but mostly through words-and when a husband and wife can’t communicate well with words, bad things start growing. If bad word-seeds have already been planted in your marriage, and fast-growing weeds are choking the life of your relationship, know that God has given you the tool of prayer to uproot them. Get to the bottom of whatever you see growing out of control, such as bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness, and pray for those things to be dug up and thrown away. Remain blessed.
