How to communicate effectively - How to stop jealousy and envy

This healthy emotional skill is essential in order to have successful relationships: how to communicate effectively.

I used to think communication is everything – that speaking the truth is above everything else, and the only “tool” one needs to have. Of course, this didn’t work out well for me, since I had not learned to practice empathy or how to process my emotions. I used to want to talk about everything with my husband, especially our "problems." But, of course, Jesus teaches us in the Bible everything we need to know to have successful relationships, including how to communicate effectively, and when to do it.
