HOW DO I GET MY HUSBAND TO LISTEN TO ME?

In one of my Relationship Talks, I discussed on this topic 

"EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN RELATIONSHIP AND MARRIAGE '', There was a question on `why do men find it difficult to listen and give due attention to their wives?` One of the guys in the discussion answered and said "Most of the time, some women just enjoy irrelevant conversations and the men are too busy to sit and listen to those unproductive words''

I pondered on his answer. You will agree with me that, of a truth, women are gifted in talking and can speak at length to the person they love so much, but there are tactics to speaking ,most especially to your husband, if you really desire his attention. 


CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIME. 
There is a time to talk and there is a time to be quiet. As a woman, you must study your husband's mood. It is not all the time that your husband want to converse with you or listen to you and that does not mean he hates you or fighting with you. When he just returns back from work is not the right time to begin to report the bad attitude the children displayed in School ,the NEPA and Water bills they brought or television subscription that is due. 
Another thing is when you have hurts against him,before you express yourself study his mood. Ensure he is in a relaxed mood . When you take note that your husband is tired and he is dozing already during conversations then it is the right time to be quiet. Don't begin to nag him and force him to listen to what you have to say. 


SPEAK EDUCATIVE AND INTELLIGENCE WORDS 
Men are given to few words ,they don't have all the time to sit and listen to gists that are unproductive and irrelevant. If you desire to get your husbands attention avoid gossips, repetitive gists, emphasizing on one issue for long time; Nagging. Communicate with intelligence, give words of advice,speak words of wisdom, discus in the area of his interest. Discus issues that solves his problems and productive to him. Correct him too, but do it in love. Talk about your feelings, desire, emotions and needs too. 


CHOOSE RIGHT WORDS 
Season your words with the salt of grace .Ensure your speeches are graced always and encouraging. Deliberately choose words that are edifying. If your husband knows that your words are mind breaking, and he feels down casted any time you speak ,I assure you, he will always avoid talking to you. He will be scared and will not know the next bomb you are about to release on him. Avoid always blaming him,even when he is to be blamed. Don't talk to him like you are talking to your son or house maid. Talk with him don't talk at him. Correct him in love,do not sharply rebuke him.


USE EGO BOOSTERS 
One key that will work for you is to always praise him,hail him,boost his ego ,any time you are having any conversation with him. Praise him when he says the right thing. Use appreciative words when in deep conversation with him. 


BE A GOOD LISTENER TOO 
Some women are given to too much talking. They can talk for Africa, When you want to say your own, they will tell you to wait ,that they are not through yet. Such women should learn to listen when their husbands are talking to them. Whenever you don't pay attention to what your husband is saying you send a message that you don't value him .When you listen to him you tell him that you respect and love him. When you listen you also increase in knowledge. 

Don't just talk in your marriage, have meaningful communication.

WHEN WILL YOU DEAL WITH YOUR OWN HUSBAND?

A Beloved sister was sharing with me how a woman who makes her hair for her was reported to moved out of her husband's house for some months and she came back later. She told this sister that, she does not deal with her husband immediately the man offends her. She said, if the husband offends her today, she might not do or say anything about the offense now until June or August. That's when she will now deal with the husband. She added that, she has several ways of dealing with the husband. The painful part of it is that, the husband won't be able to understand the rationale behind the wickedness and maltreatment the wife is melting out to him. It is after much asking, that, the wife will now say, it was because of so so so and so thing you said to me that day 3 months ago, that I am doing this thing I am doing now to teach you lessons and deal with you.

SHE WOULD LIKELY CHEAT IF SHE LOVES THESE THREE THINGS

Although it is said that men cheat more than women, today the ratio is almost level. Just like men have different justifications for cheating, women too cheat for different reasons. Here are 3 types of women who are likely to cheat:- 1. The money lover: The money or gift lover is the number one on the list because most women cheat because of this 'weakness' in them. We all love money and would wish to have lots of it but for such women, they are capable of getting into other relationships just because of finances. This is the type that sleeps with any man as long as there is monetary payback. 2. The 'party animal': No party passes without her having to attend. I don't mean every woman who goes to a party is a cheat but the 'party animal' is highly likely to cheat. No weekend finds her in the house, instead, she will be out drinking and dancing with other men till morning. The drinks she takes could be sponsored by abled men who would the...
