If the latter is what you desire, then get ready to listen to discover practical ways to deal with unmet expectations in marriage…even if it’s not the first time!

Hi friend!
Over the years, we've come to realize that though we love each other, when conflict occurs or when we want to express ourselves to our partners, we may end up creating more distance between us instead of feeling heard in the process. One reason for this could be as a result of how we communicate our concerns or express our frustrations with our spouses. Maybe you are trying to get your spouse to listen to you but it seems like you can't get through to your spouse. We know how frustrating this can be especially because this is your spouse & life partner and you just want to feel heard. This is why in this episode, we will be sharing 2 mistakes you may be unintentionally making while communicating in your marriage...making it more challenging for your spouse to listen to you, and what to do instead.
We pray this episode blesses you.
