Communication:
I wasn’t able
to get on so I am playing catch up last week in class we talked about the
importance of communication. And how it plays a vital role in the family as
well as in work, school etc. we have all
seen the importance of communication in a marriage, as well as in families 86%
of communication is done non verbally by the way people are reading your body language.
I would have never guessed it to be that high for communication but after
talking about it more in class it made more sense. We also learned about power
in a marriage they are: coercive power, with holding affection, legitimate,
expert, referent, informational. We also learned about the council method and
how to use it in our home we talked about how the 12 used the council method
and I thought it was very interesting it goes like this:
- speak openly
-frankly
-council:
systematic
-consensus:
doing something for the group.
-meet
every Thursday
- meet in
the temple
-meet
early to express love and appreciation
- open
with prayer
-end with
prayer: Thanks and dedicated
- in the
end they have chocolate or pie.
I think
that communication is very important and that we need to be able to communicate
when we are married about things and so it is important to learn more about
communication.
