Words have power especially when attached to the heart. So don’t drift apart. Love is patient, love is kind. Let your words reflect with the end in mind.
It’s easy to get carried away with words, good or bad. Words can cause your spouse to melt into a puddle of mush or become as cold as ice.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, this is a good time to be reminded of the power of words.
Because when you exchange words that pierce the heart, it causes a scab. For every bad exchange, the deeper the wound. The deeper the wound, the greater the scab which leads to a scar.
Scars are hard to shake off. Scabs you can. They can fall off over time.
But when the threats, hurt, and emptiness fills your mouth, the more difficult it is to escape the words that strangle the heart.
Valentine’s Day is one that is SO commercialized. And instead of buying into someone else’s definition of love, I want you to define it by your words.
And it starts with the words you exchange with your spouse on a daily basis.
So what are those words?
Hopefully, they are words that support and lift up, create that “superhero” feeling for your spouse. UNSTOPPABLE!!
Yet you need to be honest with how you really speak to your spouse.
There are tendencies to shrug our shoulders and let our tongue attack even when we don’t mean to. We let loose and whatever comes out is just that…whatever.
No restraints. No concerns. No love.
When you feel secure in your relationship, harsh words flow easier because of the comfort and security.
Part of that is extremely beneficial. But if you let it ALL go ALL the time, how much of your trash can your spouse bear?
Yes, you should be able to share everything; good, bad, and the ugly. However, if you want to continue to build a strong foundation in your marriage and deepen your relationship, tame your tongue.
The K.I.S.S. ~ T.A.M.E. the tongue!
Love is patient, love is kind. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4
This is what you can do to leave a mark on your marriage for the rest of your life, and it’s a testament to your love for each other.
- Tickle with kindness.
- Adopt a position from love. Let love lead your tongue. WWM – World Wrestling Marriage
- Magnify the positive. See with the eyes of Christ. Lead with forgiveness. Don’t have a stern heart, have a forgiving heart.
- Engineer your phrases to speak the truth with little scarring. You have to speak with the end in mind; how your words will be received. Your words are not for you. So they must be mastered for your spouse.
