Author Pat Morley suggests that we stop, look and listen when our spouse wants to talk.  First, stop what you’re doing.  Put down your cell phone, turn off the TV.  Second, look directly at your spouse when they’re talking to you.  It shows you care.  Third, really listen to your spouse.   And men, that doesn’t mean telling her how to solve a problem.  It means identifying how she’s feeling with an understanding nod.  It means repeating back to her what she’s said.  It also means saying things like, “I know that must be tough, what can I do to help.”  Find out more on how to be a better listener.
