Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 7
Day 7(Saturday). My best piece of advice I could give. It can be anything at all. (parenting, marriage, blogging, health, etc)
Communication. I really can’t stress that enough when it comes to marriage. J and I, after 7 1/2 years of being together (almost 6 years of marriage), we are STILL working on that. It’s HARD, it’s not fun admitting your wrong, it’s not fun forgiving… but in order to fully trust and honor your husband… you HAVE to communicate. I try to tell J everything, I try to tell him how I’m feeling and what I need from him as a friend, a husband, and a father to our children. Sometimes it’s hard to tell him exactly what I need to tell him, but I know that in the long wrong it’s better for the both of us. Not only communication with your spouse is important though, communication with Christ is the way to find communication with your husband or wife. I’ve noticed that during the times I feel furthest away from God, I feel furthest away from my husband as well. Isn’t it interesting how that works out?

I think all communication with everybody is really important! My mom just told me a story about how upset my grandma is about someone not doing something…and I asked if my grandma asked the person to do it or if she just got upset when they didn’t. Communication probably would have prevented that problem!
