HAVING PEACE IN YOUR MARRIAGE DURING STRESSFUL TIMES.

1. Pray daily together about the realities of the problems you have been facing.

2. Listen to one another regarding what has been bothering each of you WITHOUT INTERRUPTING EACH OTHER😃

3. After you hear him REPEAT IT BACK to see if you understood his feelings and struggles correctly.....THEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO SHARE YOUR FEELINGS AND CONCERNS...The Same rules apply...He must listen without interrupting then when you're done he needs to REPEAT IT BACK TO YOU..
The repeating back is very important for the purpose of clarity to make sure the other person really understands what the other person is feeling and thinking. THE DEVIL LOVES CONFUSION AND CONFLICT.

4. This next step is called empathy. That means try to put yourself in the place of the other person... it is possible with the Holy Spirit's help. He will help you to see things from the other person's perspective... consider what the other person has been going through in their daily routine or something they have been experiencing personally... and when God reveals these things--- verbally tell your mate..." You must have felt sad or fearful or jealous or disrespected or angry etc...Then the person feels that you have heard them and that you are sensitive to their feelings.

This type of communication will reveal areas where an apology may be necessary and mercy and forgiveness can be shown.

God has used this to bless our relationship over the years and He will bless you as well.
