If you’re married or engaged, you need to know this: Marriage is not a competition.
It’s about loving and being loved. So you have a choice: Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happily married?
When you listen and respond to your partner instead of correcting him/her, you will learn a lot about how he/she thinks and feels.
Good News: You don’t have to agree. But if you listen long enough to what your partner has to say, you may find out that your disagreement was really just you jumping the gun before you’d heard … the rest of the story!
He who answers before listening—
that is his folly and his shame. (Proverbs 18:13)
