About His Ideal Match
Here’s some practical advice I received from my father on how to listen well. It’s called reflective listening. When your wife tells you something, you summarize what she just said to you in different words. This does two things:
It allows your wife to hear what you just heard her say, and clarify if you have misunderstood. Many times I would either misunderstand what Olive said (because I wasn’t listening properly or because she hadn’t used the right words), or Olive will have said something she didn’t really mean. Hearing what she just said allows her to process it and to confirm or clarify what I heard her say.
It confirms to your wife that you have understood her. This is very important. When she feels that you have understood her, then she’ll feel comfortable to tell you more. One of the biggest needs that a human has is to be understood. To be known.
So stop trying to cheer up your wife (all the time). Listen. Understand. Empathize. Trust me, this will go a long way to improving your marriage. And she might even be happier.
