It is amazing to me how many couples choose to speak the truth, using words as laser beams into the hearts of their mate. After decimating their mate, they hide behind the phrase, “I was just telling the truth.” Your words will speak life or death into your mate. Practice taking responsibility for the fact that words cut like a knife, or as the Apostle James says, “Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.” (James 3: 5)
