  • Communication
 

Communication is the key to successful relationships. We get along best with those we understand the most. Learning to communicate our thoughts and feelings is vital to understanding one another. Here are "Four Laws of Communication" that should help you:

  1. Stop Lying and Start Telling the Truth: People lie to protect themselves from the stress they perceive will come from a confrontation. When we insist that we are OK or that nothing is bothering us, we actually erect barriers to communication.
  2. Keep Current: Anger not dealt with is anger saved for future use. The problem causing the anger and conflict may not be solved so quickly, but it can be put to rest by agreeing to address the issue at a later time. The relationship can be re-established even though the issue cannot be settled immediately.
  3. Tackle The Issue, Not The Individual: One cutting remark leads to another. Communication ceases and character defamation often develops, destroying respect and love. The use of our mouths directly affects the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the lives of others.
  4. Pro-Act, Don’t Re-Act: Ephesians 4:32 tells us to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving or understanding of the other person’s frustrations.” It is listening to another viewpoint. It is gently considering another’s feelings. It is letting love cover a multitude of sins. In short, it is acting in the very practical matter of daily living as God has acted toward us through Christ.
