Episode Transcript

S1 (00:00):
If you are married and you take pride in being
reasonable and you see your spouse as being unreasonable, you
are in the process of destroying your marriage.

S2 (00:10):
Doctor Gary Chapman with a love language minute.

S1 (00:13):
The person I'm talking about is calm, cool, and collected.
He believes that if you will listen to his arguments,
you will be forced to agree. Any sane person could
not disagree. Let me explain this to you one more time.
The implication is if you will just listen, you will
understand and thus agree. This person makes no room for emotions.

(00:36):
All that matters is logic. But I remind you that
God made us emotional creatures, and if you don't allow
for emotions, you will never create an intimate marriage. Treat
your spouse as a person of worth. Ask for their
opinions and be empathetic with their feelings.
