4 reasons to always listen to your wife

1. Listening to her perspective will help you see every situation with more clarity

When you thoughtfully consider your wife's perspective, you're able to see every situation more clearly. Women tend to be mindful of details, considerate to the feelings of those involved and in tune with aspects of the situation that we (as men) may be likely to overlook. Her perspective will add richness and depth to your perspective.

2. Listening to your wife will increase your wisdom

The Bible (particularly the book of Proverbs) has much to say about the differences between a wise person and a "fool." One of the chief differences is a willingness to listen. When you listen to your bride, you're honoring her, honoring your Creator and also growing in your wisdom. When you disregard her, you're acting foolish.

"Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish."Proverbs 18:13


3. Listening to your wife helps you grow closer to each other

Communication does for your marriage what breathing does for your lungs. When you wife is talking to you and sharing the details of her day, she's attempting to engage with you on all levels. Most women have a need for meaningful communication that is every bit as strong as the typical man's need for sex.


4. Listening shows your love

It's really as simple as that. When you truly listen, you're communicating your love and respect to the most important person in your life. What more reason do you need?
