Dishes

The greatest struggles in relationships are always centered around communication. Certainly we want to be understood which requires that first we reach out to understand the other person. But distractions in our busy lives can keep good communication from happening. This PSA reminds us to watch for the small moments that can make a big difference in our relationships. Listen... Pass It On.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

MUSIC:
Baby tell me where'd you ever learn
To fight without sayin' a word
Then waltz back into my life
Like it's all gonna be alright
Don't you know how much it hurts
When we don't talk
When we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love
It matters to me
When I don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see
It matters to me
When I don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see
It matters to me

This video is so revealing and convicting, I have grown to understand that Communication is very important in any relationship. Each day, the Spanish version of this video is played and it is very powerful. I don't speak Spanish, but the message was their in the video. Today, I just found out that their is a English version on Pass it On and it is wonderful. Keep uploading the positive messages through your videos.

Even though I do not speak Spanish I love the commercial with the 2 people otherwise know as (dishes) . They bring everything out and to the point. I wish I knew their names.

Patricia from New Britain Ct., June 20, 2016

Brings tears to my eyes. We all lead stressful & busy lives but need to find a balance so the most important things in our lives know that they are #1.

This is the BEST commercial I have ever seen! I hope people listen before they cannot save their relationships.

Lynn from Pascoag RI, December 25, 2015

Thanks for all you are doing! The superpacs should send all the money to you, for this campaign. Amazing. video, "The Dishes" If it doesn't make you cry, you must be texting.

Kay from Illinois, December 15, 2015

EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS WITH THEIR PHONES FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYONE THEY LOVE !

Julia from Alabama, November 18, 2015

Thank you!! This one just keeps bringing tears. I too have been married for over 17 yrs and unfortunately its very true, internet, cellphones etc. has distant too many relationships. I always wanted to marry a workaholic but now things get in the way to make time for us. When we first got together, the internet technology was just taking off, texting and cellphones were not out yet..we spend time playing board games, taking walks, just sitting on couch talking. In the past 14 yrs, thats very rare as his work is programming. I go to bed alone as he continues to work, no more talking in bed about the day or about the kids. I miss my husband. Lately I am spending time again alone more and more but I remember the times we did have and how much he still makes me melt ( like Olive Oyl did with Popeye) when he makes the time. Make time for one another, you might not get another day!

Fina from California, November 8, 2015

This video brings tears, one for wishing I had someone to care for me and for all that do but are disconnected. Thank you

princess from Illinois, November 1, 2015

This is what is truly happening in our society right now! We have been flooded with various modern gadgets for communicating; yet, we barely find time to talk with the people who are just fingertips away - the members of our family!

Ebelardo from Tarlac City, Philippines, October 20, 2015

I do not know who this young actress is but she is the spitting image of my high school sweet heart from over 50 years ago (1963). We were army brats and I loved her deeply. She went off to college and I went off to war in Viet Nam as a green beret officer. Time, space and circumstances changed and separated us. When I saw this video, it brought back an entire stream of fond memories of our time together. I watch it daily for it helps me to remember some of the happiest days of my life. I last spoke with her about 25 years ago and broke off communications. I regret it to this very moment so young people please listen to one another and be thoughtful before you speak or act. I hope that she views the video and can recall her happiness. Think with your hearts and listen to their wisdom before you speak or act. I learned that lesson the hard way. Forever, love Jim

Jim from Atlanta, Georgia, October 4, 2015

I have been married almost 17 years and my husband and I are going through this. I Love him with all my heart, soul and every ounce of my being. I miss being loved, touched and looked at with the upmost respect. It seems work, my abusive childhood and the stresses of life have taken over the loving moments we used to have. He is in Sales and travels a lot and I am building 2 businesses. We used to be the couple people said, "I wish I had a relationship like yours you guys are the perfect couple, you have it all and you look alike (Ken & Barbie)". No amount of success, material things or hobbies are worth losing the love of your life. I hope this video can get through to you all. It can all change in an instant. No matter how much you love someone or how perfect your marriage may seem, if you do not work at it daily and make God a priority in your lives, you will be nothing more than roommates passing each other every day. Thank you for everyone who put their heart and souls into these videos, I just know they will trigger something in many people, to live life to the fullest and to take time for the people who matter the most in our lives.

Lisa from Fayetteville, Arkansas, September 20, 2015

I first seen this on tv and it was my feeling at the moment.... This really hit me to watch as my life is the same.... Makes me want to cherish all moments more!

Anonymous from Fairbanks alaska, September 9, 2015

WOW

NULL from NULL, June 29, 2015

Faith Hill does a great version of the song. I think it's Entitled... "It Matters To Me" . ☺

NULL from NULL, April 17, 2015

Who is singing this song?

NULL from NULL, March 10, 2015

Watch again & again. It hit raw nerves! Technology is sadly taking the place of real communication, it is a silent killer.

NULL from NULL, February 6, 2015

Superb....

NULL from NULL, October 12, 2014

I really like this commercial. The lady look so very familiar but I couldn't remember the name.

NULL from NULL, September 26, 2014

I like it verry much.

weerarathne. from lussaka., September 9, 2014

Opened my "eyes"

Chris Grim from Ohio, Wapakoneta, September 8, 2014

Len, Sami is right, Faith Hill, album and song are IT MATTERS TO ME; on an album of standouts another song for meaningful PSA is YOU CAN'T LOSE ME, a lifelong tool of lessons and "parent Mother/Child bond", tears of solid hope and parental strengths to draw from and pass down to ones children for their journey thru life. As Red Skeleton used to always remind us, "Good night and may God bless", may we pass this down, and on. Al, Alberta

Al from Alberta, Canada, September 1, 2014

This song is so beautiful, it make my eyes teary, because of love that I've lost and love that I cannot have.
