start-stop-more-less
Before Father’s Day is a distant memory (am I already too late?), I want to relay one of the most helpful conversations a man could have with his wife and children: the start-stop-more-less conversation.
Men, tell your wife and kids that you value their opinion and that you will weigh their answers carefully. Then ask them the following:
- What do I do that you really want me to stop?
- What don’t I do that you really want me to start?
- What do I do that you wish I did more of?
- What do I do that you wish I did less of?
These questions could be just as beneficial for women to ask their husbands and children, but I thought it would be good to challenge men like me who often are clueless about how they are coming across to their families.
I’m thankful for Robert Johnson, a very wise pastor, who recently shared this conversation idea with me and several other pastors.
