Abusive speech is difficult to uproot, though, especially if it has been inculated by parents who themselves were verbally caustic or by a culture that promotes domineering behavior.
But anything that is learned can--- be unlearned. The Bible is the greatest help in regard to this. It can assist one to overturn even strongly entrenched behavior. { Compare 2 Corinthians 10:4,5 }
How ?
Proper View Of God- Assigned Roles.. Often , men who are verbally injurious have a distorted view for husband and wife.
For example, the Bible writer Paul states that wives are to be " in subject to their husbands " and that a husband is head of the wife." { Ephesians 5:22,23 }
A husband may feel that headship entitles him to absolute control. But this is not so.
His wife, though in subjection, is not his slave. She is his " helper " and " complement ." { Genesis 2:18}
