Topic: A Better Listner

Many problems in the home are a direct result of poor communication. While both both husband and wife are responsible to communicate truthfully, effectively and biblcally with each other, the husband is the head of the household and thus carries the primary responsibility in ensuring that communication is taking place in the home. On this episode we will be talking about (Listening)Do not assume you know what your spouse is thinking. Do not assume that you know your spouses motives or opinions regarding a situation without first communicating and receiving the necessary information verbally. Remember, only God know the heart.

The Power of Words in Your Marriage!

 
Jesus teaches us about words
Matthew 12:33-37.
Our words carry the power of life or death.


Lets look together at 5 areas of communication
WORDS transmit powerIn Matt 12:33-37 it tells us the power our words have.
It also explains that we will have to give an account someday for the words we speak.
Remember that God shaped the world through words. He performed miracles through the use of His words.
God has now created us to accomplish things by wise use of our words.

What is your language like around others?
Power goes out when you speak whether good or bad.

WORDS reveal our characterIn Matt 12:33-35 it states how the good man and the evil man speaks.
We do not want to consider couples evil however, We will be honest. They speak harsh words sometimes with each other. They tend to be very critical about things and feel very bad after they have spoken.
This is a huge indicator that they need to ask God to help renew their heart and forgive them of their words. They then ask each other for forgiveness.
Some people were raised in a very critical family and words did more harm then good.
This is an area today in most christian couples walk that they struggle with.
It helps us to remember daily that: Our words shape our marriage daily!
"For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks"

WORDS determine our reward or
judgement. Matthew 12:36-37
This is to the point in scripture: We will be held responsible in the end for our words.

WORDS produce fruit.Matthew 12:33 says we can either make a tree have good fruit or bad fruit.
We have huge influence in the way our marriage grows based on our words!
Our marriage is shaped by our words and deserve Gods best!
WORDS shape anothers destinyTake time and pray about your words this week. Then go a step further and watch how you communicate with others. If you need to apologize for harsh words, We encourage you to do so right at that time. God will begin to help you in your communication!
