Could you be the enemy of your marriage?

Today, we would be considering the impact of words.

Words are powerful, they create emotional state, communicate facts, wisdom, intentions, feelings, worldview, love, etc.. Nations have gone to war over words, families have been torn apart over words, children’s esteem have been ruined over words and marriages have failed over words. Beyond this, words have spiritual and creative powers, they can confer curses and blessings. There are couples who say terrible things about their marriage, you hear them say to each other, “I wish I never got married to you”, “this marriage is not heading anywhere”, “this marriage is boring”, “you make me sad”, “I will divorce you someday”.

These words shape the future of their marital romance and family, they are like self-fulfilling prophecies. The defence is often, “but this is the truth”, “this is how I feel”. There is a difference between facts and truth. You make your reality (your experiences) through what you believe and say over a period of time.

What have you been saying about your spouse and marriage? Are you making emotional statements and decisions? Are your words healing your marital romance or making things worse?

ACTION POINT: Consciously review your words, you may have to change who you spend time with, what you read and watch because they program our thoughts which influence our words.
