When one person in a relationship resists looking at, taking responsibility for, and changing his actions, it is like damming up a river. The relationship moves sluggishly, choked by the inability to process issues and move on in love. Relationships between two people who can hear and use feedback sail along much more easily: “A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool” (Prov. 17:10).
