In this week’s podcast, Leah and Jen talk about the keys to a harmonious Relationship. Our relationships with other people are often the most rewarding part of our lives, and yet can also be the most trying part of our lives. Discovering the keys to having harmonious relationships with others is very important to having healthy relationships. The three things that we must learn to do in our relationships in order for them to be harmonious are:

Talk: We need to be able to express ourselves freely in our relationships and be able to discuss what is on our minds openly and honestly.

Listen: Learning to REALLY listen to others is a skill. In many relationships, we don’t truly listen to what the other person is saying. in many cases we use that time when we should be listening to thinking about what we are going to say next!

Respect: Understand that you may not always agree with the other person, but you need to respect what they are saying. Try to put yourself in that person’s shoes. Respect their opinion and have an open mind to what that person is saying.

Jen and Leah also discuss Gary Chapman’s New York Times Bestselling book - The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. In his book, he identifies five different love languages and how to determine what your love language is. Not surprisingly, most people’s love languages differ from their spouse’s, therefore making it that much more important to understand how to speak in your spouse’s love language. What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to your spouse! Chapman teaches you how to determine your love language (and your spouse’s) and the learn how to speak that language, which results in the profound satisfaction and joy of being able to express your love – and feel truly loved in return!
