- you share your feelings, telling about your day and difficulties.
- you say, "Let's talk," ask her what she's feeling, and ask for her opinions.
- your face shows you want to talk-relaxed body language, good eye contact.
- you take her for a walk to talk and reminisce about how you met or perhaps you talk about the kids and problems she may be having with them.
- you pray with her.
- you give her your full attention... no grunting responses while trying to watch TV, read the newspaper, or write e-mails.
- you discuss financial concerns, possible job changes, or ideas for your future.
-Page 144 of "Love & Respect" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
