There is one key to a smokin’ hot marriage and that is…….(building suspense)–communication. It is everything! It is the lifeline between the good days, bad days, ok days, on days, and off days. Communication is what makes relationships.
You ever notice what happens when things go awry, expectations aren’t met, trust is lost, deception is conjured, feelings are hurt–communication stops. Someone just doesn’t want to talk about it (if you are trying to get a hold of your emotions then an elapsed time is sometimes healthy.) Yet, most of the time people just want to throw out the situation, or act as it never happened. The most healthy thing to do is to understand why that person took their course of action and to let them know your reasons. AND that all happens thru communication!

Funny how we practice communication at work and it stays there when you go home. Be honest, be open, and do it in love. Never use you always or you never.
I think the greatest thing I can give is what I learned from experience; always support your spouse, do not criticize to hurt them. It really destroys the heart and soul. 2nd Cor. 13. Can’t go wrong there. Rejoice in each others victories and be there to lift each other up in defeat. Be each others cheerleader as I heard a pastor say. The alternative is very painful. LGLP!!
