Tips for Becoming a Better Listener

Tips for Becoming a Better Listener

Sometimes, we are bad listeners. 

I think it's a skill we've lost a little because we are so busy all the time and we have the ability to be constantly distracted. 

But I'm sure we can all think of at least one person in our lives that is a good listener. 

What is it about them that makes them a good listener, do you think? Do they do anything special? 

Are YOU a good listener? 

Are you born a good or bad listener? Or is it something you become? 

We're talking all about listening on the blog today, but I have some questions for you over in our stories too so head on over there!

Tag a friend that's a good listener and tell me what makes them a good listener. I'd love to hear!

What word do you wish it could be?
 
We have so many different relationships that we are constantly juggling, but I think our relationship with our spouse tends to take a backseat when life gets chaotic, especially with children.
 
I'm not sure if it's because we feel solid in that relationship, or we just assume there's a mutual understanding that we'll just pick up where we left off when things settle. I'm not sure why, but I definitely know that it happens, often.
 
We can't afford to put this relationship on the back burner. The relationship we have with our spouse is one of the most important relationships we have. It should be one of our biggest priorities because let's be honest, life is never going to calm down.
 
In this post, I'll tell you why this relationship is so important and how we can make it a greater priority. I think you'll find many benefits to strengthening your relationship with your spouse.
