Ecclesiastes 10:12
A wise person’s words win favors, but a fool’s lips are self-destructive (GW).
Prayer: Thank God for simple word pictures that can help you show each other love and respect. Ask Him for the wisdom to discern when you are stepping on each other’s air hose and the courage to speak up even when it may be a bit difficult.
Action: When your spouse deflates before your eyes, don’t defend yourself by saying, “That’s your problem.” Remember, it’s always “our problem,” and try to find out how and why an air hose is getting pinched. (For discussion questions, see page 238 in Appendix A.)
