Your divorce can be avoided with the use of one of the most powerful relationship restoring tools available. What caused my divorce more than 20 years ago was uncontrolled and abusive language.And what has enabled me to never again face its crippling impact - is Mouth Management. When my wife began hurling hurtful words at me I responded in like manner with equally angry words. That was my single biggest mistake as it only caused the rage between us to rise. We were living outside of Christ and suffered a bitter divorce. Two years later we found ourselves on the same Sunday on different sides of town in two different Churches standing before a congregation and proclaiming Jesus was Lord and Master of our lives. We only knew of this special event when we met for coffee a week later. And we noticed something had changed. Many things actually - but this really stood out for us. We had a fresh love for one another and the rage was gone. In confessing Jesus as Lord of our lives we had begun to use the words of our mouth as they were intended. To speak kindly and considerately to one another. To give one another regular compliments and encouragement. We were gloriously remarried a few weeks later. Whenever the old issues started to rekindle rage we thought on the verse in Proverbs - a soft answer turns away wrath. And the power of life and death is in the tongue. We think on that truth often. Mouth Management has become a daily goal for us and we regularly talk strife out of our married life. You too can have a lifelong divorce avoidance program when you commit yourself to Mouth Management. Copyright 2006 Kenneth Little |
