Being a good listener is a wonderful skill . Could save many marriages or any relationship . I constantly tell my husband he’s a terrible listener . That’s because he is .

You can’t listen without hearing. Listening does not mean understanding only a mental process of what is heard. If you hear a sound you can’t understand or identify you have heard and listened. To some extent there is a difference. To some extent they may be interrelated.

Funny thing. I was taught the difference in church, at an early age, where they actually broke it down & said why we must listen and pay attention in church. Why? Because Your Life Might Just Depend On It!! Pretty serious stuff.
