Words Can Heal a Marriage

The Bible says, “The tongue of the wise brings healing” (Proverbs 12:18). Loving and respectful words not only have the power to create healthy communication but also to bring healing to the marriage. A wife says, “I start with an apology for my lack of respect.” Men, why can this apology for being disrespectful heal the heart of a husband?

A husband says, “I am beginning to see how what I say and how I say it can feel hurtful to her.” Women, why can this husband’s willingness to speak loving words bring healing to her heart?
