In English Help for the Family | Marriage How to Talk About Problems

Talking about problems is not always easy. Sometimes, instead of solving, the conversation can create more tension. This happens because men and women often have different communication styles. What you should know Women: usually prefer to talk about the issue before hearing a solution. Often, simply sharing feelings brings relief. Men: tend to look for quick solutions, because solving makes them feel helpful. Offering an answer is their way of showing support. The key is balance: listen carefully before suggesting any solution. What you can do Husband: practice active listening. Look into her eyes, don’t interrupt, and show you understand. Many times, your wife just needs to feel you are by her side. Wife: explain clearly what you expect. If you only want to be heard, say so. If you want a solution, ask for it.

GB United Kingdom For Couples: Teamwork What does it mean?

 

📝 SECTION 6 — For Couples: Teamwork

What does it mean?

A healthy marriage works like a well-coordinated flight: husband and wife are like pilot and co-pilot following the same plan. When difficulties arise, they do not think only of themselves, but care for each other.

What the Bible says: “They are no longer two, but one flesh.” — Matthew 19:6.

Marriage is not a solo journey. For it to be happy, it is essential that both walk together, supporting each other.

Why is it important?

When teamwork is lacking, discussions turn into criticism and small problems grow. But when the couple acts in harmony, they seek solutions instead of blame.

Working together prevents husband and wife from becoming just “roommates.” Instead, they become life partners, united to make important decisions.

What can you do?

Stop and think:

  • Do I consider the money I earn as “only mine”?

  • Do I only truly relax when I am away from my spouse?

  • Even knowing that my husband or wife values relatives, do I avoid contact with them?

Talk with each other:

  • In which areas do we already manage to work well as a team?

  • In which areas can we improve?

  • What practical steps can we take to strengthen our union?

Practical tips

  • Imagine that marriage is a game: you are not on opposite sides, but on the same team.

  • Replace the thought “How can I win?” with “How can we both win?”.

  • Do not try to prove who is right or wrong. The most important thing is to preserve peace and unity.

What the Bible says: “Look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others.” — Philippians 2:3, 4.
