SPEAK LOW AND SLOW WITH OTHERS!

Tone of voice and body language make an immense difference in determining if a marriage is happy or unhappy. Over 90% of a message is conveyed through tone of voice and body language. Words are important (10%) but never underestimate the impact of tone of voice and body language on communication. A MAJOR GOAL IS TO SPEAK JUST ABOVE A WHISPER WHEN SHARING SENSITIVE OR IMPORTANT INFORMATION WITH A SPOUSE OR ANYONE!!!

A Critical Need for a Child Is Focused Attention!!!

One of the most significant responsibilities a parent has it to instill trust, respect, and confidence in a child’s heart through positive focused attention. Being physically present with a child is NOT focused attention.

Focused attention means looking intently into a child’s eyes, daily dialoguing with a child, or doing an activity with a child.

Commonsense Marriage Wisdom!!!

Whenever a couple has CONSISTENT MARITAL HAPPINESS, the simple reason is that THEIR EXPECTATIONS ARE BEING MET!

Overcome Complacency By Loving One's Spouse Daily!

Hello Christian Friend,

Sadly, most spouses think of their marriage as a destination rather than a journey and that produces the dreaded disease of COMPLACENCY!

Loving one’s spouse is a daily privilege or a “GET TO” Not an obligation or “HAVE TO.”

Learn simple, very specific words, behaviors, and essential knowledge from the 2020 Three-Time National Award-Winning book, SIMPLE HABITS FOR MARITAL HAPPINESS.
