The words that come out of your mouth are powerful.  They can build up or they can tear down.  Learning to use your words and actions to honor your spouse is key to walking in God’s peace and favor in your marriage.  

That’s God’s kid.  Are you treating them with the honor that title demands?  
 
How do you speak about your spouse when they’re not around?  Do you speak highly, or do you poke fun and belittle?  Do your actions in secret reflect the words that are said in public?  

Pull up a chair as we share what we’ve learned in this arena.
