LISTEN

Have you ever been doing something and you heard your spouse start talking to you but before you realized it you had blocked them out to finish what you were doing? If it hasn't happened, it will! Your spouse may be agitated by it and that is perfectly normal and understandable. You need to acknowledge that you did not hear them and from that point give him/her your undivided attention. Your spouse's daily events and feelings should be important to you just because it is important to them! My husband is very into the recording side of music and I am more into the vocal aspects of it. Sometimes he gets to going about some new recording gadget that he's discovered and although I don't know much about the subject I love him enough to be interested in what interests him. You are still two different people with different hobbies and emotions, but by listening to one another it allows you to pull closer to being ONE.
