Communication has its own scope, both in general scope and scope in particular. Then, what is meant by communication? How to implement proper communication? And what is the scope for Christian marriage?
Communication is not just about creating understanding, but also talking about whether someone is willing to accept or have a relationship. Communication is the relationship created by talking about a particular topic so that the topic can be understood. We actually do communication every day, but the fact is that many communications have failed. How is the communication going on in a Christian marriage? As Christians who are called by God as His People, we must keep our communication with God good. However, it turns out that good communication is not only determined by the quantity or amount we worship and pray, but also by the quality of our worship and prayer.
How are our relationships these days with our neighbors, is it good or normal or even bad? It turns out that the quality of good communication with God determines the quality of our communication with others. The quality of communication with others will be better, if the quality of our communication with God is good. Communication can be likened to the human breath, where communication determines how our lives are. Our life or our bodies will not be able to move or work properly if our breath is not moving smoothly. What is emphasized in this case is that communication is very important to pay attention to, especially in married life.
According to James 1:19, good communication will not be created if we are not good at hearing, therefore James emphasizes "pay attention to the way you hear". In this case there is no differentiation between women and men. Being a good listener is an important and inseparable thing in communication. Proverbs 18:13, asserts that if someone gives an answer before hearing first, then that is ignorance and shame. The failure of many families is due to dishonest and sincere words or communication. What is the will of the husband must be the will of the wife, and vice versa. This principle is relevant for every age and age, not only for those who are married, but also for those who are not married. In honest communication, there must be no deceptive element in his mouth. Communication is also determined by our words, every word that comes out of our mouths should be like those who convey the Word of God (1 Peter 4:11). What is meant by this verse? What this verse means and emphasizes is that every word must be guarded, its quality considered. As a Christian, sayings should not humiliate others, but build and bless others. Regarding the words in communication, it is also determined by weak answers, not by harsh words, which can trigger or cause anger and contention. Sometimes when a partner speaks in a strong voice or in a high voice, it is important to respond with gentle words or a low voice. With regard to honesty in communication, it is also related to the beliefs of others in us. In married life this also determines the trust between partners. In fact, this honesty involves a lot of things when it comes to marriage.
For example, if a spouse has made a mistake and after the person is honest about his mistake and apologizes, then forgiveness must be given. Indeed, everyone is not free from mistakes, so that his partner must provide a lot of forgiveness. This is what determines whether the marriage relationship continues or not. This is all our discussion of communication both in general with our neighbors, as well as communication in particular in married life.
