Words That Heal

Yes, " death and life are in the power of the tongue."
{ Proverbs 18:21 }

Hurtfull speech must be replaced with words that upbuild and strengthen a marriage.

A Bible proverb states:
Pleasent sayings are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. "
{ Proverbs 16:24 }

Some years ago, a study was conducted to determine what factors caused strong families to function effectively.
" The study found that the members of theses families liked each other, and keep on telling each other that they like each other,"
reports marital specialist David R. Mace.

" They affirm each other, give each other a sense of personal worth, and took every reasonable opportunity to speak and act affectionately.

The result,
very naturally, was that they enjoyed being together and reinforced each other in ways that made their relationship very satisfying."
