Proverbs 26verse2: ‘As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.’
By looking at the symptoms of anything, you can almost predict what is wrong with that thing correctly. This is also true in marriage. If you have problems communicating with your spouse, it will show itself. This is why I have been sharing with you some of the indicators of bad communication in marriage. The primary goal of this teaching is to help us make amends in the necessary areas and also turn a new leaf accordingly.
Today, by his grace, I will be sharing more insights as per these indicators, so if you are ready, off we go!

17. Assuming
18. Criticising and criticism
