In the Book of Proverbs, King Solomon reminds us that “life and death are in the power of the tongue.” So it should come as no surprise that how we use our words really matters, especially when we talk to and about our spouse. In this program, Chip helps us better guard what comes out of our mouths and how we can repair past wounds we have created with careless or harsh comments. Discover how to cultivate a more loving and supportive environment with your mate.
Introduction:
- Have you ever wondered why a little comment can cause such a big argument with your spouse?
Fighting lies with truth
Lie #14 (for women):
- My husband’s attitude makes no sense to me. He gets so upset when I make even the smallest comment in front of others about something he did wrong.
The truth:
- Husbands fear FUTILITY, the sense that they don’t measure up. That’s why my AFFIRMATION, refusing to CRITICIZE publicly, and PHYSICAL intimacy build up his confidence.
Key verse:
- Philippians 2:3-4
Lie #15 (for men):
- My wife’s attitude makes no sense to me. If I joke about her gaining weight or take notice of other women, she comes unglued.
The truth:
- Women fear ABANDONMENT, of losing the relationship. That’s why saying “I LOVE you,” being a good LISTENER, and showing AFFECTION in public build up her sense of belonging.
Key verse:
- Philippians 2:3-4
