“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”.

– James 1:19 KJV

Communication is one of the key ingredients in any relationship, whether friendship, courtship, or marriage. When there are gaps in communication, intimacy becomes hard to attain.

How do you react when your spouse fails to do things the way you want it to be?

So many of us got married having high expectations that our spouses would automatically understand us when we speak or even know the right things but I guess we were shocked when the first mistake happened.

Many at times, all that is needed to prevent a quarrel from happening is just to express yourself to your partner without being rude even when upset.

When there is a gap in communication, then we are only opening up cracks in the wall for the enemy to penetrate. Remember, you can be angry but do not let the sun go down on your anger.

If the channels of communication are no longer open, there is no longer joy in the home and both parties end up feeling lonely even though you are in the house together.

In order to bridge the communication gap in your home, take out time to reflect on what went wrong and think of ways you can understand your spouse better. Find time to apologize and definitely do what makes him happy. Then you can find a convenient time to address the issue without being judgmental and make yourself vulnerable so he sees and understands you better.

Remember, men are not wizards, so they don’t know except when we tell them.

Always take out time to fight on your knees and pray that God helps your spouse understand you better and vice versa.

I pray that the eyes of our understanding is enlightened and we remain partakers of what God is doing in this season. Amen!
