Default Re: What gave me 10+ years of success

Listening is also very important because you can talk to the person but if you don't listen everything they are trying to say is wasted. That also leads me to the second point often the wife wants to dump her bad day either because by talking about it there is a stress reduction, or because she is working through the problem by talking about it and hearing it. She doesn't always want me to "fix" it she is far to independant and will always let me know when she wants my help. SOmetimes she just wants empathy.
