Being misunderstood can be a frustrating reality of a disconnected relationship. When someone hears something you didn't say or doesn't properly understand what you mean, it can wreak havoc on your communication. Today's listener question comes from a woman whose boyfriend consistently misunderstands what she means, especially when in disagreement. He even thinks that to disagree is to disrespect. 👀 Listen in as I share how she can ask better questions to get to the heart of the matter. And remember, Proverbs 18:13 says, "Those who answer before they listen are foolish and disgraceful." Ouch but true.

Q & A: Why Does My Partner Misunderstand Everything I Say?

It can be a complicated adjustment when a marriage ends in divorce. How soon is too soon to "get out there?" A listener asked if it's too soon to date after divorce and how to know when it's the right time. I share my thoughts on determining the right time and process to dating after divorce, including ensuring the marriage that ended is left in the best condition possible before beginning a new relationship.

Q & A: Is It Too Soon to Date After My Divorce?

We’re telling the truth about lying in today’s episode. It's an oxymoron, isn’t it? For most people, lying is a behavior learned in childhood and, unfortunately, carries into adulthood. From telling white lies to avoid minor inconveniences to engaging in more elaborate fabrications to protect ourselves, lying has become an almost reflexive coping mechanism. But make no mistake; lying is a form of betrayal that sows distrust, instability, and insecurity in any relationship.

But why do we lie? When we were children, lying often served as a tool to evade punishment or avoid disappointing our parents. This behavior stems from an inherent fear of repercussions and an unrefined sense of protecting ourselves. Interestingly, lying doesn’t stop there. We carry this survival tactic into adulthood, whether to protect ourselves or someone we love or to avoid conflict.

We also discuss how lying destroys relationships and tips on rebuilding trust after lying.
