3. ”With the way you’re going, I’m not sure you can provide for me and the family.”
Avoid making such statements to your fiance or husband. If you know you love him and are led by God, you should intercede for one another.

Your fiance or husband will not take kindly to these words being repeated in their ears. Such words will not cause them to change either.
5. ”I made a mistake marrying you. I never had to suffer like this in my parents’ house. Why did you marry me if you knew you couldn’t take care of me?”
If you understand the principle of becoming one flesh in marriage, you will not even speak in this manner!
