Words of affirmation are sometime hard to speak. We feel awkward and “mushy” when we put words to our deepest thoughts and feelings. But these times are important for a marriage relationship. Bonds should run deep between husband and wife and we should be open with our feelings and express them regularly to each other.
Just as words can build up and deepen and strengthen a marriage they can also tear down and destroy a marriage. Hurtful, selfish words do no one any good and they have no place in a relationship. Even when we must share hurts or frustrations with our spouse we need to do so in a loving way with words of affirmation as the foundation.
Day 14- Pray that your husband will speak words that build you and your family, and reflect a heart of love. Pray that he will not use filthy language.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
