Marriage tips: What the wife need to do to get her husband attention

 The wife needs to find a time when she can sit down with her husband and talk with him about your need for better communication.Be very respectful.Say something like:

"Darling, sometimes I feel lonely.I feel like you and I are becoming strangers to each other. I'm not saying it's your fault.

I think both of us need to take the effort to build our communication."

Choose a good time for saying that to your husband.

Don't say it when he is tired or hungry.Wait  until he is relaxed, and in the quiet place where the two of you can be alone and discuss freely.

Will that discussion change your husband into a good communication? Hopefully it will help,but  perhaps he will still not communicate very well.

The wife should remember this: You must love and respect your husband even if he doesn't communicate well.

You should also remember this: You are not perfect, and your husband has the job of loving you alone with your weakness.

Marriagetips: Hurt

 While waiting for the bus,Ruth remembered, "Abel scolded me this y, and he seemed very unloving."

She felt hurt.The hurt was small.Abel had not shouted; yet his voice seemed cold and bitter.

As she continued thinking about it, the hurt grew.She remembered other times when he had hurt her.

Finally she asked herself, " What should I do about this hurt? If I try to hide it,my communication with Abel this evening will be just half hearted.Under the surface I will still feel hurt.

Perhaps I should wait for Abel to say, ' sorry.'

No that won't work because he may not realize that he hurt me. There's only one answer:I must talk with him about the hurt.I will speak honestly, and also respectfully."

That evening when she and Abel were alone,Ruth said softly,"Dear,I think I should let you know that your words this hurt me.

In fact, I've felt hurt All day.Now I feel ashamed for letting such a small thing bother me so much."

After Abel apologized,they were able to communicate and enjoy their evening together.If Ruth had tried to hide the hurt, what kind of evening and bed time would they have had?
