As couples we talk things over. We talk about, around, and through all the stuff of our life together. Sometimes we feel that we will never get to the end of all our words. We wonder if the other person will ever get it--will ever understand our thoughts in the way we try to express them. But as we continue to talk to each other, we learn that persistence and patience can bring us to a wonderful moment of aha--and finally, we know we've reach an understanding. Oh joy! Can anything be better? Our eyes meet. They light up with that special light and we know we will always remember this moment, especially when we come to another passage--another time when we need to talk things out again.
Grant that we may not so much seek to be understood as to understand. Good communication is a decision.
