Webinar - Clarify What is Meant - Lessons from Children and Marriage

Emerson discusses the importance of clarifying what is meant in marriage. He shares stories of miscommunication and misunderstandings between spouses and emphasizes the idea that one can be logical but incorrect, which can be tough to see in oneself. He highlights the significance of seeking clarification and not jumping to conclusions based on misinterpretations while also emphasizing the importance of children in revealing profound truths about miscommunication and how their simple, literal thinking can teach us valuable lessons in marriage.
