- you share your feelings, telling about your day and difficulties
- you say, “Let’s talk,” ask her what she’s feeling, and ask for her opinions
- your face shows you want to talk – relaxed body language, good eye contact
- you take her for a walk to talk and reminisce about how you met or perhaps you talk about the kids and problems she may be having with them
- you pray with her
- you give her your full attention . . . no grunting responses while trying to watch TV, read the newspaper, or write e-mails
- you discuss financial concerns, possible hob changes, or ideas for your future
