0:23.1	This week on the podcast, we've been doing a mini series on three tips to communicating well in marriage. Today is day three and it's tip number
0:28.6	three, which is realize your response is key. Dr. Kim, why is our response so key when it comes
0:35.0	to communicating with our spouse? I think that's what really connects us.
0:39.6	You know, we've talked about listening and talking and all that kind of thing. My response is,
0:44.0	so if I'm talking to Nancy or she's talking to me and I'm listening really well and then she finishes

1:35.0	sorry. I'm so glad to die.
1:47.8	Yeah, it's not going to happen. No, but just being there with someone. And maybe if it is, you know, that's a good point.
1:54.2	Maybe it doesn't have to be verbal, the response. Maybe it is putting your arm around somebody. Maybe if Nancy's telling me something and she's really upset about it and I just put my hand on her or put my arm around or I hold her, that's responding.
