When to interject and when to just stay quiet (which can be so hard!) Being a friend is a two-way street with lots of give and take.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This discussion also parallels to marriage and how we need to make sure we\u2019re listening there too! Stats state some marriages only talk 20 minutes a week! The ladies remind you revisit the attention you paid your spouse when you were first dating. They then direct the convo to how we can be a better listener to our children &#8211; not letting distractions get in the way.&nbsp; Really focusing, putting away the phones, asking the questions &amp; letting them be heard.&nbsp;Hopefully&nbsp;this helps strengthen the connections your have in your life.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subscribe today for more &#8211; NEW episodes every Monday!
