- Christianity
This week we add another episode to our marriage series with a discussion about the importance of the words we speak (or don’t speak). We outlined the impact words have for building our marriage or tearing it down, as well as some simple, practical guidelines for language in your marriage.
We also referenced our earlier podcast on responding vs. reacting, which you can find here:

Additionally, we leveraged several scriptures throughout this episode including:
Ephesians 5:25, 31-32 NLT
25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. 31 As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” 32 This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.
Ephesians 4:29 NLT
Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Proverbs 10:19 NLT
Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.
Proverbs 10:19 NASB
When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable, But one who restrains his lips is wise.
Proverbs 18:21 NASB
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
James 3:2 NLT
Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.
James 1:19 NLT
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
