A husband that uses injurious speech may need help to determine
just what motivates his behavior.

He would have to have the attitude of the psalmist:
Search through me, O God, and know my heart.
Examine me , and know my disquieting thoughts,
and see weither there is in me any painfull way."
{ Psalm 139:23,24 }

For example:
Why does he feel the need to dominate, or control, his mate ?

What triggers a verbal assault ?
Are his attacks a symptom of deeper resentment ?
{ Proverbs 15:18}

Does he suffer from feelings of worthlessness ,
perhaps resulting from an upbringing that was marked by critical speech ?

Such questions can help a man uncover the roots of his behavior.
