Discover the way ahead at Indiana Wesleyan University.
In marriage therapy, there are several ways of thinking that seem to destroy healthy communication in marriage. These thoughts fit into a category called cognitive distortions and they are faulty ways of viewing events that prevents partners from seeing things in a positive light.

In today’s episode, Quinn teaches listeners:

1. Three of the common distortions she sees in marriage therapy
2. Why these ways of thinking contribute to communication going poorly
3. Steps to challenge your thinking in order to improve your communication

Mind Renewal Tip:
If you want to know what your partner is thinking about a situation, ask them instead of assuming. It’s often what we “think” we know about a situation that makes it go poorly instead of the true facts surrounding it!

Scripture Renewal Tip:
Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door will be opened unto you. For everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7: 7-8
