God created men and women very differently. We're wired with different purposes and functionality, so it's no wonder that we have difficulty communicating sometimes.
Guys say exactly what they mean and mean what they say. Gals sometimes leave some gaps and allow their fellas to listen for what is implied. This isn't always done maliciously, it's just an exampe of how we communicate differently.
Do you remember when you could say of your spouse, "I can't stop thinking about you." For some of us, that was a long time ago. However, thinking is a key to a successful love relationship.
When you think about the other person, you're allowing your intellect to initiate your emotions. What you think about a person or situation determines how you feel about it. Your thoughts will ultimately determine what you do when you're around that person, too!
If we think about our spouse, then there's less chance of confusion and miscommunication. The authors of The Love Dare write, "A husband should listen to his wife and learn to be considerate of her unspoken messages. A wife should learn to communicate truthfully and not say one thing while meaning another." To accomplish this, we must be thinking deliberately and intentionally about the welfare of our mate.
