Today we continue with the series we began last week saturday on Effective Communication in Marriage. Communication is the concept or process of exchanging information between two or more persons. When we zero it down to marriage it will mean – The concept or process of exchanging information between a husband and wife. Effective Communication between a husband and wife is very key to the success or failure of their relationship.
Tip 2: The Principle of Physical Touch: It is difficult to pick a quarrel with someone while you are tenderly holding him or her.
A difficult time to apply this principle is after an argument has begun in the cause of a discussion between a husband and wife. However, the perfect time to apply this principle is when you know you are about to have a discussion about something that might lead to tension. You know what those topics are in your marriage. Maybe it’s a conversation about a specific child. Maybe it’s your in-laws or your finances, even the purchase of a new property etc.
If there is any form of physical contact while the discussion started, you would inevitably notice something. When your conversation began to drift toward conflict, you may gradually stopped touching/holding each other, because It is very difficult to fight/quarrel with someone you are tenderly touching. So at this point, you have a choice: to stop fighting so you could keep holding or to stop holding so you could keep fighting. This type of tender touching will serve a dual purpose:
First, it is a deterrent from argument/quarreling.
Second, when you do drift into an argument, your physical separation is a visual and physical cue that your conversation is no longer glorifying God.
When you notice it, what you should do is to correct it, and get back on the right track.
