Marriage Builder Monday



Good morning everyone! I'm looking forward to another week of strengthening our marriages! If you'd like to read more about why I began Marriage Builder Monday you can go here and here. I'd love to have you join me at any time. Just add your name and a link to your post to Mr. Linky below!

Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it.

Ephesians 4:29 AMP

This week I will be focusing on using only kind words when I speak to my husband. I tend to speak before I think and often times things come out in ways that are far from what I intended. It is never my intention to be unkind to my husband but it's not hard to be unkind without even realizing it. My plan for the week is to be conscious of the words that leave my mouth and to make sure that they are kind and build my husband up as opposed to tear him down. Wish me luck!






What will your challenge be this week? I'll be looking forward to visiting with you all!

Marriage building is so important I will join in too but already have another post up this week and it is Tuesday in Australia.
It is so easy to take things for granted and not realise a partner is hurting deeply over even little things.
