Greatest Challenge For Marriage
We interviewed US author Warren Farrell, for our series for men called True North. Farrell was reflecting on what helps or harms marriages. He made the point that the toughest part of a marriage relationship is the ability of either the husband or the wife to receive and accept negative feedback about their relationship.
Farrell said that we all get defensive when we hear things that we perceive to be negative. Yet the only way to build a relationship is the capacity to hear and receive information that seems critical of us.
God created human beings to live in relationships, one of the most precious is our marriage and our families. Pray for the ability to hear negative feedback, for the strength not to be defensive, and the courage to change.
