The Eyes See Better Than The Ears Hear!

On my way into work today I sat next to a deaf couple on the London Underground.

'They must be in love' I thought to myself.   

They were like any other couple within my carriage, apart from the fact that they looked at each other as they spoke. They touched each other to get their attention. They seemed to smile a lot.

It got me thinking..... How often do we look at the person we're talking to, especially if you're in a relationship with them? 

I think of how we talk to our kids while "multi-tasking".

How we have conversations with our partners while we're in separate rooms (basically shouting through the door)

How we pay for our shopping without making eye contact with the cashier.

Ok, so you won't always be in a position to look deep into someone's eyes while having a conversation ..... but I think we probably could do it a lot more if we tried. 

Take some time to connect with somebody. Remember, The eyes see better than the ears hear.
