In this video, Dr. John Trent challenges us to work on how we communicate with our spouse. He shares four things God’s word teaches us about communication.

3. Emotions show us the need behind the deed.
Ephesians 4:26 ” Don’t let the sun go down on your anger.”
4. Seek to deal with the issues when they are small.
