"Sticks and stones may break my bones... But words will never harm me"

THIS IS A POPULAR ENGLISH RHYME believed to have appeared in 1862; at the time, a sort of advice to the young one to ignore name-calling and hurtful remarks from his mates. A fair enough purpose, eh? You could say so, but then don’t stretch it beyond that. Why? Because words CAN hurt! Trust me, sometimes they hurt as much as the heaviest stone. More importantly in relationships, because no one can hurt your partner like you can. One cannot overstress the need for you to speak the right words, but just in case you need convincing, here are a few points:

1. YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU AFFIRM. Have you ever noticed that when someone praises you, you want to repeat the behavior that caused it? This is just human nature. It can be a form of manipulation if it isn’t genuine. But it can be a powerful way to motivate others when it is authentic.

2. AFFIRMATION SHIFTS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD YOUR SPOUSE. Words are powerful tools. They can create, or they can destroy. They can build up, or they can tear down. I believe most people have a drive to align their actions—and their attitudes—with their words. If you start speaking well of someone, you start believing what you say.

3. AFFIRMATION HELPS STRENGTHEN YOUR SPOUSE’S BEST QUALITIES. Encouragement is also a powerful force for good. All of us need positive reinforcement. This is why when we are losing weight and people notice, it gives us the strength to stick with the program. This is true in every area of life.

4. AFFIRMATION WARDS OFF THE TEMPTATION OF INFIDELITY. When others see you are happily married, they are less likely to proposition you. It’s like a hedge that protects your marriage from would-be predators. You simply stop being a target.

5. OTHERS’ OPINION OF YOUR SPOUSE. The way you speak of- and to- your spouse goes a long way to determine how others will come across to him too.

This is correct! No matter how bad Ur Spouse is,DO NOT discuss him in d midst of people or Ur friends,Few will sympathise with U while many will be glad about Ur predicament. The way u present ur spouse determines how people will regard him. Don't allow people around U 2 see ur hubby as a NEVER DO WELL!

Neva underestimate the power of the Tongue...
words r indeed very powerful..

Ur words can only be powerful to ur female partner if u'v CASH!
