Problem
Mark and Anna have been married for 3 years. They often disagree about who should handle some of the household chores. Typically, they only talk about the chores while they are in the act of doing them, and often, their talks consist of one or the other rolling their eyes and making snide comments as they march around the house completing a chore. What are some effective listening skills and strategies that Mark and Anna can use in discussing these household chores? How might they make sure they understand each other better? What barriers to mindful listening might be getting in the way?
