Do Not Hastily Take Offence
10/30/2008
There are people who have a weakness of taking offense so soon. In marriage though, you will learn that this attitude is not the best for you. It will add you more and more problems even when the issue was very small. Never hurry to take defense when you are questioned about an issue with your mate. This may lead to lack of trust even when there is nothing big to worry about.
When your partner asks a question, the best thing to do according to marriage counselors is to think before you can give a reply. This will help you find the perfect answer to the problems that you would be solving. Rush answers are never well thought of and they are never wise.
In marriage counseling, you are advised that your biggest target should be to win a heart and not to win an argument. Winning an argument is not solving a problem. The problem will not be solved just because you win. No one is perfect and even your thoughts may not be the best.
You should be swift to listen and not to answer. You need to know what your mate feels and this can only happen when you listen to them accurately. Acknowledge what they feel and express.
