Ep. 156 - Seek First To Understand

Life After Divorce Coaching

Communication is the most important skill in marriage and in divorce. You spend years learning how to read, write, and speak. But what about listening? What training have you had that enables you to listen so you really, deeply understand another human being? Probably none, right?

During most divorces, spouses like most people, seek first to be understood to get their point across. In doing so, you may ignore the other person completely, pretend that you’re listening, selectively hear only certain parts of the conversation or attentively focus on only the words being said, but miss the meaning entirely.

In this episode Jeff and Doreen give you valuable tips and benefits on listening for comprehension which will definitely help you in marriage, during the divorce process and after divorce as well.
