Wise Counsel
Even during conflict, discussions with ones partner should be honest, respectful, and spoken in love. Communication should be purposeful, goal-oriented, and free of hidden agendas. Sensitivity to timing is helpful (for example, not bringing up a difficult situation at the dinner table).
In volatile situations, this can be difficult. Scripture points out how shameful and foolish it is to answer a matter before its fully heard and understood: He who answers a matter before he hears it; it is folly and shame to him(Prov. 18:13). Communication involves both sending and receiving messages. Of these two, listening is the most important.
Biblical Insights
Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath(James 1:19). and
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice(Eph. 4:31).
In marriage, when one person become angry, the conversation quickly moves from constructive to destructive
This passage underlines the importance of keeping your cool in communication
Also, couples need to remember that listening to ones spouse is just as important as having that spouse listen to them.
Speaking the truth in love . . . grow up in all things into Him who is the headChrist(Eph. 4:15). And Do not lie to one another(Col. 3:9).
These two scripture outline two major points. The first is to be truthful always, even though it is sometimes more convenient to lie.
The second principle is that truth must be spoken in love. That means, the truth can never be told as a way to garbage dump (see above), condemn, or hurt a spouse.
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another(James 5:16). and Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you(Eph. 4:32).
These passages outline two more very important points in marital communication.
First, notice that James 5 says confess your trespasses.The passage immediately assumes that in life, we will from time to time trespass upon each other. We will from time to time hurt, disappoint, and wrong someone else. Therefore, we must be open enough to admit we are not perfect and confess these wrongs.
The second principal, in Ephesians, speaks of having tenderhearted forgiveness. This mercy and grace is imperative in marriages to restore the marital bond after times of difficulty.
