Are there times when you’ve talked back to the television? When you hear or see something so outlandish, you feel it needs a response. There have been times when I’ve blurted out such responses.
I also blurt out responses to blogs and emails. It helps me express emotions and clarify my thoughts. Rather than keeping any reactions inside, I put them into words.
The blogs and emails concerning affairs are particularly emotional. Those emails and blogs convey hurts, pains and emotions in strong doses. The pain they put down stirs up responses inside me.
It’s not just words on a page, they are rather opening up their hearts and souls about what they struggle with. The wording used tells me a great deal about them and their struggle.
Typically, there are so many hurts expressed that I wonder where to start. A recent one concerned a husband who discovered his wife sharing nude pictures with a ‘friend’.
He talked with her, but couldn’t make sense of her reasoning and account of what happened. I could tell he was torn up about the whole episode.
Besides the picture struggle, there was also the huge letdown in trust, along with feelings of betrayal surrounding her not being open with him about the long-term relationship she had with the man.
The situation he’s in brings hurt on multiple levels. Although she never directly attacked his manhood, her actions screamed “I don’t trust you” and “You aren’t enough for me!”
He loves her and wants to work things out, but struggles making sense of things. In his situation, he wasn’t as close to his wife as he thought.
Situations like his are indicative that communication wasn’t as good as he thought it was. The communication in your marriage may not be as close as you thought either.
Now’s the time for improving communication before making the kinds of discovery this husband did. Order a copy of the video “Let’s Talk: Hurting Questions Healing Answers” today and start opening up the communication in your marriage.
