Uncovering The Roots of Abusive Speech

" Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. "
--- Matthew 12:34

Some two millenniums ago, Jesus Christ stated the above words.

Yes, a person's words often reflect his deepest feelings and motives.
They may be praiseworthy..
{ Proverbs 16:23 }

On the other hand they may be treacherous.
{ Matthew 15-19 }

One woman said regarding her mate:
" He seems to get angry out of the blue, and liveing with him is often like walking through a mine field,
you never know what will trigger an outburst.

Richard describes a similar situation with his wife.
" Lydia is always primed for a fight, " he says.
She doesn't just talk; she lash's out in this belligerent way,
pointing her finger at me as if I were a child. "

Of course, arguments may erupt even in the best of marriages,
and all husbands and wives say things that they will regret.
{ James 3:2 }
