We’ll either build our marriage or break it, with our words. Words aren’t just for communication; words are for construction. We are builders when we use our words wisely. With our words, we are building a marriage that matters, and makes it, through the good and bad. So I want to ask you today….what will you build with your words? Here are three things we need to build with our words: 1. Build intimacy with your words Intimacy is not just something physical. Are you sharing your heart with your husband? Is he sharing his heart with you? Do you just talk about what needs to be done? Cultivating a marriage with meaningful communication will build deeper intimacy. Words move two hearts closer together and unite them as one. Be patient with your spouse – we all know men in general don’t talk as much! Set aside time for just the two of you to talk. 2. Build encouragement with your words [to wives] One of the best things YOU can do for your relationship is to be an encourager. Encouragement comes naturally through sincere daily prayers..but so does controlling. And my sneaky suspicion is that controlling comes naturally to most women. When we want to control we can tend to nag. The word nag actually means to annoy or irritate (a person) with persistent fault-finding or continuous urging. Not only does nagging irritate, it is dangerous. 3. Build joy with your words Allah didn’t create marriage to be boring! Have fun for His sakes! Life is hard – it’s full of tough and sobering reminders that we live in a broken world. So use your words to bring fun and joy into your marriage and home. So I ask you again…. what will you build with your words?? Allah has not called you to demolition work – he’s called you to build your book of records [good deeds]! With Allah’s help, build something beautiful, intimate, and powerful in your marriage with your words. Use your words to build greater intimacy, encouragement, and joy! #Marriage
