Kellie's Response to Father Oleksa

There were a couple of Father Oleksa's comments that hit me:

1. "Communication is approximate and never perfect. Every married couple knows this." SO TRUE! My husband and I are working on 11 years, and I believe that we communicate well. There are obviously times when he doesn't hear what I meant to say, and I'm sure that he feels the same way, but somehow we still get to the same place without to much angst. I have watched friends marriages over the years fail, and one common factor in the failed marriages is lack of understanding/communication.

2. "Adjust to the rhythm of the culture or you will be fired." This should be applied not just to your work culture but all aspects of your life.

3. and then "Afternoon siesta is a wonderful institution." ABSOLUTELY!

finally, those baby sounds were pretty funny...

Kelly I agree with you on the marriage communication. I am going through some rough times in a marriage and it, from my point of view, is because the communication have failed. One time i heard a preacher explain how a couple could live together for 15 years and not know how to talk to one another. He said that neither participant decided to learn the others language. So we have to ask ourselves do I speak the others language. " Do I speak WOMAN" and "Do She speak MAN"

I agree with the "Afternoon siesta" to becuse I have a bad habit of doing that to my boyfriend which ends up causing an argument the next day.

Communication is key in all relationships. Marriage, work and friendships.
