‘Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.’ Proverbs 16:24(NLT)
The tone of your words will shape the tone of your marriage.
Think about the tone of your words when you are talking to your spouse. Are you rushed and annoyed or are your tender and thoughtful in your replies? One of the most powerful (and tragically underused) pieces of marriage advice is to simply be nice to each other. There’s never a good excuse to be unkind to your spouse. Kindness is contagious; but unfortunately, so is rudeness. Make sure you’re spreading the right one.
Reflection: Am I creating a climate of kindness or of rudeness in my marriage?
