Love and relationships
Communication
The ability to express what we feel and to listen to others without interrupting or judging.
What the Bible can tell you
So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
James 1:19
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29
He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
Proverbs 18:13
A human reading
Many problems grow because of unclear conversation. Speaking from what you feel, instead of accusing, makes room for the other person to open up too.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
