PRAYER & PRACTICE
While it can be easy to talk about sports, music, or work, it’s not always a breeze to communicate with our spouse. Good communication doesn’t happen by accident—it takes intentional effort, prayer, and practice. Use these prompts to pray together and apply what you’re learning. As you do, you’ll build a deeper sense of trust, understanding, and connection.
Week 1
Pray: Pray with your spouse this week about your safety needs. Ask God to give each of you grace to learn how to navigate conversations in a way that makes each of you feel safe, known, and loved.
Practice: Spend some time with your spouse this week talking through the T.A.L.Q. needs and the four questions from Les and Leslie. Tell each other what you need to feel emotionally safe and try to put it into practice this week.
Week 2
Pray: Pray with your spouse this week about being slow to speak and quick to listen. Ask God to make it clear when you should hold back your words. Pray that God would strengthen your marriage, specifically through how you talk to each other.
Practice: Look for opportunities this week to hold back your words with your spouse. Try to avoid giving advice. Give your spouse space to process. Or close down a heated conversation and revisit it at a later time.
