However, things only got more tense and unpleasant between them.<\/p>\n<p>They went on that way for months, until Sue decided to take a different approach.<\/p>\n<p>The next time her husband started enumerating his concerns about them buying a house together, instead of defending, debating or dismissing, Sue just listened to what he was saying.<\/p><div class=\"laura-new-roadmap\" id=\"laura-1173503937\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/adoredwifeweekend.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17020\" src=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-Horizontal.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1118\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-Horizontal.png 1118w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-Horizontal-150x75.png 150w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-Horizontal-480x240.png 480w, https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-Horizontal-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1118px) 100vw, 1118px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>When he finished explaining, she calmly used this magical phrase: <a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/how-to-respect-your-husband\/\">\u201cI hear you.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And she meant it. She had really listened to his words without racing into the future and worrying or pointing out where his thinking was flawed.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when she saw her husband relax for the first time in months as he sighed with relief and said sincerely, \u201cThank you!\u201d He looked so grateful to be heard and understood.<\/p>\n<p>She realized that his thinking wasn\u2019t as threatening as she had built it up to be in her head.

At all.<\/p>\n<p>They exchanged hurtful barbs nonstop all morning, and Jessica was furious at him for taking his bad mood out on her.<\/p>\n<p>A student of the 6 Intimacy Skills\u2122, Jessica decided to regroup and ask herself how she felt and what she wanted.<\/p>\n<p>The answer was that she felt mad! Her husband seemed like the biggest jerk on the continent.<\/p>\n<p>She wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhelp.net\/anger\/\">tell him exactly how she felt<\/a>: attacked and unsafe. But she knew those weren\u2019t actually feelings&#8211;just thinly veiled blame and criticism. So she wisely said nothing for the moment and again asked herself what was true for her.<\/p>\n<p>She realized that under her anger was\u2026hurt. And loneliness, as she longed to feel close to her husband again.<\/p>\n<p>To clean up her part getting in the way of that closeness, first she apologized for being disrespectful when she had criticized him for drinking.<\/p>\n<p>Then, since saying he had hurt her would just be criticizing him again, she simply said, \u201cI\u2019m lonely and I miss you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her husband apologized too, for being a jerk. He hugged her reassuringly, and just like that the connection was back.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Let_Him_Listen_to_His_Own_Conscience\"><\/span>3.

Her husband was sitting on the bed with their son, speaking quietly, and they were both crying!<\/p>\n<p>By showing support for her husband and then stepping aside instead of trying to mend this conflict, Marla left room for him to hear his own conscience.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, it had spoken very loudly that he owed their teenager an apology because that\u2019s what he did. Then the teenager apologized too!<\/p>\n<p>Marla was filled with admiration for her husband having the humility and strength to admit his failings and ask forgiveness, and her mama heart swelled that he treated their son with such gentleness afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Which of these secrets will you experiment with next time there\u2019s a conflict at your house?
