Listen "Clarify Expectations - Audio"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine a husband who calls every day from work. One day, however, he doesn't call. The husband and wife had had an argument the night before, the but the wife thought it had been resolved. Now, in the wake of no phone call, she begins to wonder if she was mistaken. Perhaps her husband IS still angry. Perhaps he's pulling some kind of passive-aggressive tactic (the kind HIS father used). Later that night when both the husband and wife are home, the wife says nothing (all the while stewing inside about her inconsiderate husband). She goes to bed early angry and alone. The next morning, the husband is behaving as though NOTHING had happened, and right before leaving for work he tells her, "I'm so sorry I didn't call you yesterday. We had an emergency at work, and I was stuck in a team meeting without my phone for over four hours. I want you to know I missed you, and I love you." In THAT moment, the wife realizes that what she had ASSUMED about her husband was NOT the case. In this message, Pastor Max articulates a relationship skill NEEDED for cultivating HEALTHY relationships...in your family, with friends and church family, and with co-workers.
