Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.”
I Love You
Thank You
You Rock!
Words are very powerful. They can build up, give hope and offer love. They can teach and educate. They can also cause hurt and cause pain. In a marriage, it can be even more so. As two become one, we share everything with our spouses. We seek our spouse's counsel and opinion, all through the years of our marriage. The words our spouses use with us, or don't, can have more power and impact than anyone else's words in all our lives. They can carry more weight than the words of those we work with, our friends or others in our family.
I like the way you did that
You take my breath away
I’ll be praying for you
Thanks for going to work every day, especially when things are so difficult right now
The Bible counsels us to choose our words well, to build up and to ensure our words help give grace to those that hear. Grace is God giving us something good, that we sure do not deserve. Our words are supposed to build others up morally and give good to others, regardless if they deserve it or not. How do we do that in life? More importantly, how do we do that with our spouse? How do we do that when our spouse locked the keys in a still running car? How do we show grace to our spouse when our spouse forgot our anniversary or birthday or something else important?
I’m so glad I married you
Thank you for marrying me
I’m so sorry I hurt you
I’m so proud to be your wife or husband
Choosing our words carefully is VERY important, especially with our spouse. It becomes even more important when things are not going according to plan. If this is not already a habit, one place to start is by choosing words carefully in your everyday lives, by telling your spouse why you married them or how they are making your day better. A quick email or text to your spouse, telling them you were thinking of them. I sticky note on their steering wheel, so they see it when the go out in the morning. Things as simple as these ideas show love during the normal times, but can show grace during the more difficult times.
What would I do with you?
You got this, Babe
You are so my hero
We’ve been through worse and we will make it through this
Also, if you start choosing your words carefully and showing love and grace to your spouse when things are going well, then when things are more challenging, you will already be in the habit of choosing your words filled with grace and love. Choosing the right words with your spouse when things are more challenging really shows your spouse you love him or her; it builds them up and gives grace beyond measure. It will draw you closer with each other and it allows God to shine through you to your spouse.
