Strong family ties are rare these days. Many people say that their spouse is finding fault with everything that they say. But have you ever noticed why your spouse says so? Sometimes it can be a problem with your speech. Hence it is very important that your way of speaking is depending upon the bond in your family relationships. Your spouse may not understand what you are trying to convey. We need to pay attention to the style and manner in which it is said, as well as the words used.
Speech is Just as Important as Words
‘I do not like the way my husband talks to me,’ one woman said once.
Our way of speaking is very important in family life. Even though both the partners are having with same opinions, they might be having a quarrel. If one person is talking loudly, the other person will hear the opposite of what they are trying to say. This means that even the most trivial idea will be rejected if it is uttered unnecessarily loudly.
Emotion in Speech
When something has to be said that is disturbing and painful, it is an art to find the right style of speech so that the listener can take it as a kind and careful correction without considering it as an insult.
When we talk to someone, the first thing they pay attention to is not the idea they are saying but the way they speak. Every word has an emotional dimension – gentleness, intolerance, respect. Moreover, it is the words and speech we use that motivate people to accept or reject what we say.
Blessed are the Meek
The family environment is an important factor in the development of a young child. Even as a child gets older, he or she will need to be surrounded by gentle and loving words of comfort. Only then will they feel safe in the family. The relationship between life partners is like the relationship between parent and child. Aggressive behavior is detrimental to a marriage. If one of the spouses makes a fuss for no apparent reason, he/she may have a grievance that needs to be deeply resolved. It needs to be identified and managed by the life partner. Mildly expressive arguments can appease even the most powerful aggressor.
