About this listen

In this episode of "Heart and Soulution," Mike and Kristen Jones focus on intentional communication within relationships, particularly marriage. They discuss the importance of speaking and listening with purpose, highlighting common pitfalls such as the tendency to "fix" problems rather than simply listening. Mike and Kristen introduce strategies like asking if someone needs a solution or just an ear and emphasize empathetic listening, where understanding a perspective is prioritized over agreement. The conversation also touches on the impact of personality types on communication and the value of expressing feelings clearly to foster healthier interactions.
