Rain rain go away, come again another day little Mary wants to play. I always remember 

This morning i was speaking to a friend who had a lot of things on her mind and she was upset because she was fuming and talking under her breath and i asked her what had happened and she sighs then told me her side of the story. She complained about the communication gap between her and her husband and how it is affecting their marriage because they do not talk as much as they did when they were newly married.

Communication is key in everything we do in life. It goes as much as asking a vendor for newspaper or going to the grocery store to buy household items. Never dismiss when your spouse calls you or even shouts because beneath the tone of the voice, you can deduce sharply what is wrong. I gave my friend an assignment that will help bridge their communication gap. To our lovely husbands "Women need to be pampered, spoken to softly and given attention", To our beautiful wives "Men love attention, big hugs and spoken to softly as well".

I will let you know on Friday how our experiment went if it gave the desired response or not and NO am not telling you what i said to her till Friday. Lol i am not mean when you watch series do you get all the information at once ? That is a resounding No so enjoy my cliff hanger.

Remember Married Couples Retreat #MCR also gives you a front roll seat in helping that communication gap so why not get your ticket to experience this lovely secret and always remember to share this information with friends and loved ones.

I will leave you with this beautiful quote "The best inheritance a parent can give to his children is a few minutes of their time each day." -M. Grundler

The Five Greatest Problems With Modern Day Parenting

Parenting has never been perfect, but there are five very large problems with the way we parent today that are almost unique to our time. They are;

1. A Fear of Listening to our Children.

Many parents blindly trust the advice of childless parenting experts and famous nannies whose advice is almost always ‘parent centric’. The experts almost always side with the parents and not with the children, warning parents that if they let their children get their own way that they will raise little dictators. Parents are warned to“be strong” and “don’t let him get his own way“. If the child protests they are warned“she is just trying to manipulate you, don’t listen to her cries”. Parents are taught that their toddler’s opinions don’t matter and their teen’s matter even less.

Children are not perceived as ‘real people’ with real needs. Their opinions don’t matter as much as ours, so they are belittled and ignored. If a child grows up believing that their opinions do not matter, especially to their parents, they will be far less likely to confide in their parents in the years to come when they really need to. Or as the famous quote goes “If you don’t listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won’t tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.”
