Sticks and stones can indeed break bones, but the wounds caused by words are not so easily mended. What words are we using towards our spouse this day? Are they words of encouragement or criticism? Words of kindness or belittlement?
"Encourage one another and build each other up." (I Thess. 5:11) Sometimes we have to ask for help with this one. God is faithful to change our negative feelings and give us the ability to say encouraging words. It might not happen with the first prayer but over days and weeks, change will come.
