Sunday brought us part four of the 4 EASY STEPS TO WRECK YOUR MARRIAGE series. And per usual, it was chock full of scuds. Here are some of the ones I wrote down:
- The quality of communication in any relationship will determine the success of that relationship.
- The #1 problem in marriages: lack of communication.
- Want to wreck your marriage? Expect your spouse to read your mind.
- The average couple talks to each other an average of four minutes per day.
- God wants to heal your marriage but you have to cooperate with Him.
- Every person in this room lies. We lie to each other every day.
- "I don't want to tell them the truth because I don't want to hurt them." Liar, liar, pants on fire.
- Every time you open your mouth you either gain influence or you lose influence.
- Intelligent people think before they speak. Proverbs 16:23
- Seek to understand before being understood.
- Unmet expectations are the #1 reason people aren't happy.
- Communicate what you want, don't criticize what they do.
- Don't be branded as, "the critic."
- Studies show that if your compliments to criticism ratio is 5:1, the divorce rate drops from 50% to 7%.
- Reliable communication paves the way to progress.
- The way you get to intimacy is through conflict.
