Lesson 10
Keys to Effective Communication
Key #3 Express
“Tact is rubbing out another’s mistake instead of rubbing it in.”
Ephesians 4:29
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen.”
The average woman speaks 25,000 words each day, yet the average man only speaks 12,500. A Harvard study of preschoolers at play found that 100% of the sounds that little girls made were audible words. Only 68% of the sounds made by little boys were words. The other 32% were sounds like varooom or kabooom.
It seems clear that, from beginning to end, females tend to need, want, and practice more communication. Men, on the other hand, are not so driven. They often hold back their emotions and their expressions. These two extremes can lead to great conflict in marriage.
Because God has made men and women different, yet complementary, it is very important that we learn from each other. Men must learn that the strong, silent type often leads to weak marriages. Men must try harder to express themselves. Women must learn that loose lips sink ships and marriages. Women must try harder to control their expressions.
Consider the three following suggestions to help you improve expression within your relationship.
- Keep issues separate – When experiencing conflict, address each issue separately. Too often, when one partner is humbled by a “good point,” they retaliate by bringing up accusations which are totally unrelated to the original issue. Like the man who, in the middle of an argument, told his wife, “You are getting historical again!” She said, “You mean hysterical, don’t you?” “No,” said the man, “I mean historical. Whenever we fight, you bring up everything from the past that I have ever done wrong!” This avoidance of the real issue only promotes more conflict and causes greater confusion.
- Verbalize – Although verbal communication is only one of many ways to express your thoughts, it is often the most common. Guard your tone. Select your words carefully. Never assume that your partner knows what you are thinking. Because communication is so vital to a good relationship, make certain that full and appropriate expression has been given.
- Prioritize – Few things build security better in a marriage than frequently hearing your spouse say, “Our relationship is one of the most important areas of my life.” Children have fewer emotional problems, because they have constant verbal reminders that Mommy and Daddy are committed to the family unit. Spouses have less worries about trust, because their wedding vows are refreshed each day. Make your marriage a top priority and let your family know it!
