You know how a common problem in marriages is the lack of communication? Try communicating while your other half is on the other side of the world! Not only do we have limited conversations, but the conversations that we do have are usually over gmail chat or email. Unfortunately the phones are so bad that I can only hear every other word that Josh says and Skype is very finicky on when it will or will not work due to horrible internet. This is extremely frustrated! It's so easy to take something completely out of context when it is written.
I read an interesting quote in Love and Respect the other day. "If husbands and wives are to understand the Love and Respect Connection, they must realize that they communicate in code. And the problem is, they don't know how to decipher the messages they sent to one another." Makes sense right? We've all been there.
This takes so much patience, forgiveness, and understanding. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who is willing to work at our marriage no matter how difficult our situation might be!
