James 1:19 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” 💡 Before responding to your spouse today, pause and ask: 👉 Am I listening to understand… or listening to reply? Quick to listen builds connection. Slow to speak prevents regret. Slow to anger protects unity.

1. Talking to win, not to understand 2. Tone + timing (right message, wrong moment) 3. Assumptions instead of clarity (“That’s not what I meant…”) 4. Defensiveness (feedback feels like an attack) 5. Unspoken expectations (disappointed… but never clearly asked) Quick fix for this week:Before you respond, say: “Help me understand what you mean by that.”It slows the fight down and puts you back on the same team. Here’s the 3-question reset script (use it mid-conflict or anytime things feel tense). Keep your tone calm and slow: 1. “Help me understand...what are you really feeling right now?”(Gets to emotion, not just facts.) 2. “What do you need from me in this moment...comfort, change, or a plan?”(Clarifies the ask instead of guessing.) 3. “What’s one next step we can agree on today...and when should we check back in?”(Moves from argument to action.) Bonus line if things escalate:“Time-out....my goal is connection, not winning. Can we reset?”
