Nervously shifting his legs, arms crossed, and head bowed, he cried, “Why do you always have to yell at me?” She retorted, “Because you never listen to me!” The exchange escalated, emotions intensifying as they went back and forth. He angrily dismissed her attempts to reach out, leaving her feeling rejected and prompting her to lash out aggressively. In response, he muttered a quick, passive-aggressive remark, perpetuating the cycle of conflict.

Scenes like this play out regularly in many homes. Communication is the top complaint among struggling couples. What you say—and how you say it—carries tremendous relational impact. Your tone, demeanor, and attitude are just as important as your chosen words.

Initiate conversations softly, with grace and patience. Listen to truly understand rather than simply seek to have the last word. Use your words to encourage and express empathy, adopting a posture of nurturing and peace. Allow sincerity and love to guide your communication.

Remember to SPEAK YOUR KIND.

"Assume Positive Intent" or "Believe the Best Intentions"

Assumptions can either build or destroy relationships. Humans form assumptions based on their experiences to predict positive and negative outcomes in life. People tend to move toward situations where they anticipate positive experiences and away from those they foresee as negative.

Positive experiences bring rewards, acceptance, and pleasure, while negative experiences lead to punishment, pain, and rejection.

If your relational history is filled with hurt, betrayal, and abuse, it can be challenging to assume positive intent.

In couples counseling, the goal is to create a new and intimate relationship, one that aligns with God's intentions for marriage. An experienced therapist will guide you in ending hurtful behaviors. Once these behaviors cease, the process of repair through forgiveness and conflict resolution can begin. Ultimately, couples will learn to understand each other's needs and selflessly meet them.

Imagine a God-centered marriage where each partner selflessly works to meet the other's needs. This is the most fulfilling type of relationship.

20-second hugs can increase a couple’s intimacy!

The Couple’s 30-Day Challenge:
Over the next 30 days, greet one another with a 20-second hug every time you leave each other and come back together.

Research suggests that a sincere reciprocated hug lasting at least 20 seconds can trigger the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone," linked to feelings of comfort and bonding. More extended hugs can further enhance feelings of connection and reduce stress levels. However, the length will vary depending on personal comfort and individual preferences.

Join the challenge! Hopefully, this will be a reciprocated organic experience that increases intimacy. Have fun with it, and try not to make it into a pressured ordeal. Feel free to up the ante by making it a 30-, 40-, or even 60-second hug. Who knows what could happen!

Here are a few action steps and connection points:

Pray With/For Each Other
Openly Communicate
Invest In Quality Time
Check-In Regularly
Express Appreciation
Share Goals and Dreams
Have Fun and Laugh
Create Romance
Show Physical Affection
Explore New Experiences

Love is ACTION and should drive our behaviors.

"Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (AMP)
