The Grace Guide to Marriage - part 11

Communication in marriage is a big subject. It's not only the words we say, it's also the tone of those words. James 1:19 exhorts us to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. Spoken words are important in our relationship. Each partner should become aware of how the words we speak, lift up or tear down the other. You not only are husband and wife but you are brother and sister in Christ. Understanding that eternal relationship will temper and soften the words you speak to one another. Colossians 4:6 says "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Apply this verse to your marriage relationship and see your marriage strengthen.
