The Power of Listening: Why Hearing Each Other Matters More Than Talking

Welcome to the Heal and Restore Podcast with Randy and Cathy Boyd—where we dive into real conversations that help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships.

In today’s heartfelt and practical episode, we’re talking about “The Power of Listening: Why Hearing Each Other Matters More Than Talking.”

So often in marriage, we focus on what we want to say instead of how we need to listen. But true connection is built not when we get our point across—but when our spouse feels understood. Listening with empathy, patience, and presence can transform even the toughest conversations into opportunities for deeper intimacy and trust.

We’ll explore why listening is more powerful than talking, how unspoken needs often fuel conflict, and the simple practices that help you hear your spouse’s heart—not just their words. With faith as our foundation, we’ll share tools you can start using right away to create safety, build trust, and strengthen your emotional bond.

If you’ve ever wished your spouse could really “hear you,” or you want to grow in understanding them, this episode is for you.

If it speaks to your heart, we invite you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s ready to deepen their marriage.

Love grows when we listen well—let’s learn how to lean in and truly hear each other.
