Answering THE Emotional Call
BY TARA PAYNE
Hello friends .
One thing almost every person on the planet has is a phone of some kind . We take them with us wherever we go , including the bathroom . Because of technology , we can connect with anyone , anywhere in a matter of moments . However for a connection to take place when the phone rings , you have to answer it and have a conversation .
If you are like most people , it doesn ’ t matter what is going on in your life chances are if your phone rings you answer it . The quality of the conversation may be good or bad but usually , we respond in some way .
Even if you do not answer it , you will at least see who it is , and send them a text if you were not able to talk . Even a non-reply is a reply . It tells the person you are unable or unwilling to talk . One way or the other when a phone rings a reply is sent pretty quickly .

We need to be able to connect to the one that we have chosen to spend the rest of our lives with . We need to be able to recognize when our spouse is wanting to connect with us and answer the call for them they are sending us .
