One characteristic of every marriage is a communication style that reflects personality and temperament. Communication style refers to how couples speak to each other, how thoroughly they listen as well as how feelings are acknowledged.
All individuals react to words and to facial expression, including the eyes and the sound of the voice. Effective communication patiently allows others to say what they think and feel without interrupting. This reveals showing love and respect for each other and keeping intimacy alive.
When tempers begin to fly, walk away until each person has gained composure.
Calmness in the presence of a storm can be the means for finding solutions to problems rather than sinking into chaos. Listen to Proverbs 14:17: “People with a hot temper do foolish things; wise people remain calm.” A calm presence is essential for effective communication.
