The Guardrail of Truth

God created us with a need for relational connection, and marriage is the pinnacle of fulfilling that need. But it requires that we communicate with one another in godly, positive, and kind ways. It requires that we purposefully drive both directions on the communication highway—listening and speaking into one another’s hearts.

A relationship with poor communication is like a traffic jam. You’re not going anywhere, or at least not very fast. But grace-filled communication opens one another’s hearts and allows you to travel further together. In the final eight verses of Ephesians 4, we see four guidelines for how our communication should be conducted. In keeping with the travel theme, we’ll look at these as four guardrails providing safety and access along the highway of marriage communication.
