In this powerful episode, we dive into the heart of marriage communication—intentional listening. Drawing from James 1:19, we learn how being quick to listen and slow to speak can transform conflict from division into deeper connection. When tension rises, pausing to pray together and inviting the Holy Spirit into your conversations can calm hearts and open doors to understanding. Marriage isn’t a battlefield—it’s a partnership where love, forgiveness, and listening reflect Christ’s love to the world. If you’ve ever wished for better communication with your spouse, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Takeaways:

  • Arguments often start from not truly listening.

  • Listening means valuing your spouse’s heart above winning.

  • Pray together during conflict to invite peace and understanding.

  • See your spouse as a teammate, not an opponent.

  • Your marriage is a reflection of Christ’s love and grace.
