Yesterday Beth and I had the opportunity to speak at a marriage retreat for young couples who attend our church. It was a joy to be able to walk together from our home to the retreat, which was being held in a home in our neighborhood.

After sharing with the group I felt the need to have a discussion on the power of listening. This week on the blog I’ll be focusing on active listening skills and how they assist in building relationship. Marriage in particular is an excellent training ground for active listening, so I will have a few exercises to go along with the discussion.

Tomorrow: Active Listening Skills Part 1
