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.
