Understanding is underrated
A friend posted a question on WhatsApp status “what does love mean to you?” I replied that it means care, attention, commitment, communication and understanding respectively.
She said why did I say understanding when communication is one already, I told her it is one thing to communicate, it is another thing to understand. If you are talking to someone and the person does not understand then you are still talking to the winds.
Many times on joro's page when a husband /wife comes to ask for public opinion, people often ask what happened to communication, this you are telling us, have you told your partner?. Then many times the poster will say they have but the partner hasn't changed then I say the partner does not understand what you are communicating to him/her.
We pray for more understanding because we know communication isn't enough. We cannot act on something we do not understand, same goes for relationship with people.
People believe relationships can stand when there's love, I say LOVE ISN'T ENOUGH. Love starts and every other qualities I listed in the first paragraph makes relationship happy and interesting because communication is key but understanding is the door, you would not need a key if there was no door🤷♀️.
Many have missed this and are still missing it, reason they complain about how they love their partners but they still fight like cat and dog. Don't worry about it, it took me time to understand this too, now you will(lol). I hope I have corrected one of the misconception of relationships.
In other news, I think I have started this whole content writing thingy (lol for thingy) let's see how it goes. See you again!
