Proverbs 18:21 KJV
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”.
Love can be born and love can die as well. It has been confirmed that love dies every blessed day in marriages. There are many marriages where the love they share is at the brink of death, and it is crucial that we know the cause of this human disaster. From our text, we can see that words of the mouth make up a major reason why marital love dies and keeps dying.
Let it be known that each time you speak to your spouse or about your spouse, one of two things happens; it is either you are proclaiming death or life. Every word you utter from mouth is either shortening the life span of your marriage or lengthening it. There are marriages that have technically died due to irrecoverable words spoken by spouses in the past. And what is most unfortunate is that lessons have not been learnt, so, more hurtful words keep going out and more things keep dying in the marriage.

However, the reverse can be the case; you will lose nothing if you begin to speak positive things to your spouse and about your spouse. You will have to kill the desire, thirst or urge to be nasty in your remarks to your spouse, knowing full well that you will produce either life or death at the end of the day. Let’s assume you have had a rough marriage for a few years, don’t you think speaking positive things and speaking positively about your spouse will bring back life to your marriage? Let’s learn from Adam; he refused to react to the wrong doing of his wife in yielding to satan’s temptation. Rather, he called her by a new name “Eve”, and Eve means “life giver” or “mother of the living “. He spoke life to his wife, you too do the same to your spouse today and watch your marriage experience better life in Jesus Name.
