Love must be demonstrated through actions and words. However, if you have
spent months, or even years, tearing down your mate with hurtful words, you must
train yourself to speak affectionately toward him or her. Begin today by making
a conscious decision to change.
Confession of
Faith:
In the name of
Jesus, I will not let any corrupt communication proceed out of my mouth, but
only that which is good for edification. I am quick to listen and slow to speak.
My words are acceptable to the Lord. I will put a guard on my mouth and keep the
door of my lips shut from speaking anything ungodly. I will love my mate with
affectionate words and genuine concern. I aim for and am eager to seek harmony
in my marriage by building up my spouse.
Amen!
