Are you frustrated because your spouse has the bad habit of interrupting you? I'm going to give you one thing that will fix this once and for all. Hi, I'm Kelly, Pastor, Police Chaplain and Marriage Coach.
Getting interrupted when you are trying to say something important is frustrating. You don't feel understood and it takes you longer to share what's really on your mind. And it keeps you from solving the problem you are trying to talk about.
Here's the fix. It's called a talking stick. A talking stick can be a wooden spoon or a pen or anything. The person holding the stick gets to talk and the other person gets to listen and can't interrupt. Here's how it works:
1. Explain how it works and get your spouse to agree to using it
2. The talker holds the stick and gets to talk. The other person remains quiet.
3. While continuing to hold the stick the talker then asks if the other person has any questions
4. When the talker feels the other person understands, you switch roles
5. The other person gets the stick and is now the talker to express their perspective on the issue
