Today’s passionate relationship principle (PRP) is Keep an Open Mind.    There will inevitably be times when you are talking to your spouse and you’ll make very hasty judgments about what they’re saying or what you think they’re going to say.   Sometimes after your spouse has said only one word, you’ve determined that you don’t want to hear what they have to say.  Maybe they mentioned the name of the neighbor that you despise.  Maybe they’ve mentioned some political issue that you’re upset about.  Maybe they’ve mentioned some task that you promised to complete, but you haven’t even started on it.  Sometimes a spouse can make a judgment about a topic that leads them to having a closed mind on the subject and not listening at all.  There are of course times when is natural, and even reasonable.  But, if it happens frequently there may be some other things that should be examined.  If this happens frequently you may want to consider implementing today’s passionate relationship principle (PRP) Keep an Open Mind. 

Is there a topic that your spouse has brought up several times that would enhance your relationship, but you haven’t been willing to discuss it?    What would happen if you listened with an open mind?
