In matters of the heart, get heart to heart

Sometimes it's easier (and safer) to say when we're hurt or angry in a text or email, but in that we lose the ability to really show our emotions and be vulnerable. We miss out on being able to see the other person's heart when hearing ours, and in that, we can sometimes make something into an issue much bigger than it ever needed to be. So, when it comes to sharing your heart, we suggest putting down the phone and actually getting heart to heart. Or at the very least, if writing is your best way to say it first, then immediately after go back to rule number two, and follow up. In person.
