Читать книгу Lend me your ear and I'll give you my heart - Sabine Bösel - Страница 11

Actively shaping your relationship means that you keep extending invitations to each other: “Please lend me your ear for fifteen minutes, I want to tell you something.” Or the other way around: “You look worn out. Do you want to tell me about your day?” Maybe you’re thinking that’s what you do regularly, anyway. But honestly, when your partner starts talking, do you really listen? Or do you let her talk for a while and then say something yourself, without really responding to your partner’s story? Of course, that’s also an option, but be aware of the fact that at the time, you weren’t actually visiting your partner’s country. You might have heard about her experiences, but not about what she felt and why she reacted this way, and not differently.
