In marriage it is usually not what we say that hurts our spouses; it is how we say it that really matters. The tone of your voice, your facial expressions, your body language and the choice of words make a huge difference in marital communication. As far as is possible and regardless of how angry you are, always remain gentle, respectful and courteous. Avoid name calling and keep yourself from saying anything you’ll later regret. Remember, hush words spoken in anger cut deep and can leave unforgettably deep wounds on your spouse’s heart. But “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1
