THROW THE BALL GENTLY: The Bible states: "Let your utterance be always with graciousness, seasoned with salt, so as to know how you ought to give an answer to each one." (Colossians 4:6) This certainly applies in marriage! To illustrate: in a game of catch, you toss the ball so that it can be caught easily. You do not fling it with such force that you injure your partner. Apply the same principle when speaking with your spouse. Hurling bitter remarks will only cause harm. Instead, speak gently-with graciousness-so that your mate can catch your point:-KEY SCRIPTURES "He that is slow to anger is abundant in discernment."-Proverbs 14:29 "Where there is no wood the fire goes out."-Proverbs 26:20 "Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended."-Ecclesiastes 7:9.
