Day 14 - Practicing Effective Listening

We give an opportunity to practice effective listening.

Question:Take turns spending one minute telling your husband or wife about a happy memory of something that happened to you before you met. The listener should then summarize what they have heard, taking particular care to describe their partners feelings. This will show that they have been listening and empathizing with what their partner felt.
