Do Not Badmouth Your Spouse:
Speaking negative things about your spouse or marriage is one of the worst mistakes you can make. Badmouthing your marriage is the act of destroying your marriage with your own lips and tongue. Sadly, spouses often badmouth each other in an attempt to gain sympathy and support from family, co-workers, and friends, or to get people to side with them. Whatever the reason or justification for badmouthing your spouse, it is wrong, unwise, and harmful to your marriage whether you realize it or not. The truth is that words create reality. Whenever you open your mouth to badmouth your spouse whether jokingly or seriously, you are sowing seeds of division and breaking your own marriage in installments. Unless you are seeking counsel from a trusted adviser, pastor, or attorney privately and confidentially, put a stop to the bad habit of badmouthing your spouse and marriage. In marriage, you will always find what you look for. If you always look for the negative in your spouse, you will find them. If you look for the positive, you will find them. A negative-minded spouse will never produce a positive marriage. Speak life to your marriage. Speak life to your spouse.
“The tongue has the power of life and death.” (Proverbs 18:21) - Isaac Kubvoru
