Decision Making Building Block - Communication.
If the first building block in decision-making is
love - the attitude which asks: "What is best for my spouse?"
Then the second building block is communication. Decision making is not a
solo sport. It involves both the husband and the wife. We are partners.
The Bible says: "Two are better than one." That is certainly
true in decision making. You are far more likely to make a wise decision
if you have the benefit of two minds and two hearts.
Communication is the vehicle whereby we share our
thoughts and feelings with each other. It is the simply process of talking
and listening, with a view of coming to the best decision. But
communication must be a choice. Otherwise, we end up doing what we did
when we were single: Doing what we want to do. That approach to decision
making is devastating to a marriage.
Fundamentally, we must affirm that we are partners,
and we want to have the benefit of our best thinking. Therefore, we will
always communicate before we make a decision.
