Effectively Communicating (God's Love to Your Mate), Part 1

Struggling to connect with your spouse? Join Chip to learn how communication skills can resolve frustration and reflect God’s love in your marriage. How to effectively communicate: I. The command – Put on the proper attire -Colossians 3:12 1. COMPASSION – Empathy to action vs. cynical -Matthew 9:36 2. KINDNESS – Whatever is helpful, beneficial vs. critical -Jeremiah 9:23-24, John 4 3. HUMILITY – Their needs first, posture of a servant -Philippians 2:5-11 4. GENTLENESS – Strength under control, your emotions -Matthew 11:28-30 5. PATIENCE – Endure with a good attitude -2 Peter 3:8-9 II. Why the “clothing” metaphor is crucial to biblical communication 1. “Old clothes” must be taken off. -Colossians 3:8-9 2. The new self requires “new clothes”. -Colossians 3:10-11 The Principle: Who we are determines how we “dress” (communicate from the heart) III. The problem: • We have settled for techniques and self-help tools to change how we speak, and to modify our emotions and behaviors to improve compatibility; rather than focusing on the deep-rooted transformation of our hearts which empowers us to give the life-giving love of Christ to our mates. IV. The solution is threefold: 1. Don’t buy the old lies* • I am what I have: Possessions • I am what I accomplish: Performance • I am what others think of me: Popularity 2. Dress appropriately for your mate 1. A – AFFIRMATION 2. W – WARMTH 3. E – ENCOURAGEMENT 3. Have at least 2 “couples conferences” per week** 1. What are you concerned about? 2. What do you wish? 3. What are you willing to do? *Discover Your True Self book and Affirmation Cards by Chip Ingram and Theresa Ingram. **Marriage that Works by Chip Ingram.
