How we communicate is very vital. What is being said is important, but how it’s been said is equally important. A brother once had a dream, in the dream, he saw that each time we speak to our spouse harshly, it is like using a stick with many thorns to beat them.
How true this is. Harsh words will only breed hatred, bitterness, suspicion, rejection and more bitterness.
In the beginning, God gave man His presence, work, His Word, to cultivate (the woman), and to provide for her.
A man not in the presence of God, cannot have His word, and of course, cannot nurture his wife with the words God gave him.
You have to be able to pass across divine instructions in such a way that it is followed and obeyed by the wife. I think with each instruction, the man should also consciously ask for the wisdom and Holy Spirit’s help in passing it across and communicate it with his wife
There is always a way or method or wisdom given by the Holy spirit that will best suit your wife of husband as the case maybe.
In 1 Sam 16:1-3, we saw Samuel asked by God to go and anoint a king in the house of Jesse. He said, how can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.
He didn’t jump off with the word of the Lord. He waited and asked God for a way to present it.
Husbands, wives, let us not always run off with the word of the Lord or a word from God. Ask how to communicate it to your wife or husband.
1Sam 16:2 KJV
And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.’
God taught him how to present the matter.
We will continue on this same topic tomorrow. We will look at saying it in love.
God bless your marriage.

I speak the right words in the right way always to my spouse in Jesus name. Amen. Thanks for todays piece ma
Thank you mummy for that beautiful write up.
This topic is a very important one and we must be sensitive enough to know the best way to communicate. Reverend has taught us a lot of times that communication isn’t just about speaking alone, your gestures/ body language also matters, that is both verbal and non verbal communication matters a lot. What we say, how we say our words is very very important.
Holy Spirit please help us to know the right words to say and how to say them, In Jesus Name.
God bless our marriages.
LORD teach me the art of communication with my spouse
I will not be distracted in the race of life.
Lord help me to communicate rightly to my spouse .
