Emerson and Jonathan respond to an inquiry and talk about why the key to a successful marriage is, in fact, not communication.
Emerson and Jonathan discuss the reasons for marital issues such as ignorance of God's command, overlooking each other's needs, offensive reactions, Expecting the other to change first, loss of hope and closing off, and fear of forgiveness.
Discover with Emerson how to navigate the challenges of defensiveness in relationships by exploring the delicate balance between overlooking offenses and addressing them with love and respect.
Emerson and Jonathan explore the importance of love and respect in improving communication within marriage. The analogy of love and respect as food and water is used to emphasize their essential role in a healthy relationship.
We can say "thanks" but not be grateful. We can mouth words but our hearts are elsewhere. We are fixated on ourselves. We have probably all seen this in ourselves. The Bible says in 2 Timothy 3:2 that people can be "lovers of self... ungrateful." We can even sing a song of thanks while in a worship service at church but inwardly dwell on the hurt and offense we feel toward someone who wronged us the day before. Join Emerson and Jonathan in part 2 this week as they continue the conversation about gratefulness, but focusing on the intangible.
