Quality Konversationz


Like words of affirmation, the language of quality time also has many dialects. One of the most common dialects is that of quality conversation. By quality conversation, I mean sympathetic dialogue where 2 individuals are sharing their experiences, thoughts,feelings,and desires in a friendly, uninterrupted context.
Words of affirmation focus on what we are saying, whereas quality conversation focus on what we are hearing. If I am sharing my Love for you by means of quality time and we are going to spend that time in conversation, it means I will focus on drawing you out, listening sympathetically to what you have to say.
A relationship calls for sympathetic listening with a view to understanding to the other person's thoughts, feelings, and desires. Learning to listen may be as difficult as learning a foreign language but learn we must, if we want to communicate love. Here is the summary of tips on how 2 listen.....
1. Maintain eye contact when your partner is speaking
2.Don't listen to your partner and do something else at the same time
3.Listen for feelings
4.Observe body language
5.Refuse to interrupt (my favorite piece of advice)

Quote of the Day...
When I sit on the couch with my partner and give her 20 minutes of my undivided attention and she does the same for me, we are giving each other 20 minutes of life. We will never have those 20 minutes again; we are giving our lives to each other. It is a powerful emotional communicator of love........
