S1 (00:01):
A love language minute. Here's Doctor Gary Chapman on the
power of the ears and the tongue.

S2 (00:07):
Men have to understand that if a woman is concerned
about something, we've got to listen to her. We've got
to find out what the concern is. Most of the time,
it's simple little things that we could change in a
moment and make the whole thing much, much better for her.
The Old Testament says life and death is in the
power of the tongue. And many times when we're irritated

(00:29):
with something, we so focus on those things that our
spouse gets the idea that we don't love them, that
we don't appreciate all the good things they're doing, that
we're nagging them about some little things. So I'm just
telling you, positive words are powerful motivators to men, and
when they feel affirmed by their wife, they're they're more

(00:50):
likely to make changes.

S1 (00:52):
This has been a love language minute with Doctor Gary Chapman.
