Now,
someone has estimated that the average man speaks about twenty-nine thousand
words a day and the average woman speaks about thirty-three thousand words a
day. That may not be accurate, but let's use it as an illustration.
He's
been out in the workplace all day and by the time he gets home
...
he's
used up twenty-six thousand of his words,
leaving
only three thousand he feels no need to say.
But
she's been locked up all day with the dishes, the nappies and the mundane.
She
has talked to her mother, friends and neighbours and used up about eight
thousand words. So when he gets home she has twenty-five thousand words waiting
for him.
After
a silent supper he spends the evening watching TV, then they go to bed.
As
he's about to fall asleep a voice says, 'Are you awake?'
If
you are wise, you will be!
If
not, tomorrow night there will be fifty thousand words lying beside you.
Do
the maths; in ten years there will be enough words to fill the state library.
But
maybe not;
maybe
there will be no words. !!
A
frequent reason given in divorce is: 'We just got to where we had nothing to say
to one another anymore.'
The
Bible says, 'Husbands, love your wives.'
Love
listens when we have nothing particularly interesting to say.
It
listens because...
only
when we have been heard and validated,
do
we feel cherished.
So:
Never to late ..!!!
Listen
“to Love”
&
you “will love to listen” again !
