Caring and Confronting Attitudes

 

COMMUNICATION AS SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE (CARING + CONFRONTING)

Linda and I have used this template in our own marriage. We have shared this with countless couples. Copy it. Display it on your refrigerator. 

Ephesians 4:15 says: “therefore speak the truth in love; so shall we fully grow up into Christ.” Here we are told, in communication, to be both loving and truthful, caring and confronting.

Work at communicating both caring and confronting in the middle of marital or relational conflict.

Here are the attitudes to have and hold to.
