Why Couples Fail To Communicate?

Loading player...
Sibongile Mofokeng and Pastor Gladwell Zabane discuss why couples fail to communicate, exploring the origins and causes of communication breakdowns in relationships. They emphasize that communication is foundational to knowing and loving one another deeply, as highlighted in the Bible, where "knowing" signifies intimacy and connection. Often, lack of listening, misunderstandings, pride, and fear prevent healthy communication. The hosts encourage couples to overcome these barriers by practicing patience, honesty, respect, and active listening. Biblical teachings reinforce communication’s vital role in building strong, loving relationships grounded in truth and humility, essential for marital harmony and spiritual unity.
