Positive words have power to release life and
love into your marriage and strengthen the foundation. Affirmation is one way to use positive words in your relationship
Jack and Donna were consumed with each other’s character faults. When they came to counseling, they could only see the negative traits because of the pain and anger.
In order to head off a divorce, I explained the power of affirmation. Initially, they were not able to find any positive traits about each other. With a lot of prompting, Donna was able to come up with the fact that Jack was a good provider. Jack said that Donna liked children.
These things were pretty basic. However, it was a start. With time, they were able to think of more positive character qualities and it became easier. This had a ripple effect in their marriage. They began to look for positives instead of negatives.
In another situation, I was explaining to a couple the importance of speaking positive words to each other. The man told me, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I responded that, “I did not realize that I was talking to an old dog.”
I also explained how the benefits of affirmation included more peace at home, a happier wife, and a better love life. A few months later the old dog had learned new tricks. Their marriage had improved and both of them were happier with the relationship.
