"Marriage is not just a union of two bodies; it is the joining of two hearts, two histories, two minds, and two souls. Your spouse's self-esteem is sacred ground, fragile yet powerful. If handled with care, it blossoms. If mishandled, it withers away silently until all that remains is a broken version of the one you once loved."
"As a marriage counselor with decades of experience, I can confidently tell you: the health of your spouse's self-esteem has a direct impact on the health of your home. Let me share with you 10 things you must avoid if you don't want to damage your spouse's self-worth. These truths are for the single who desires to love right, and for the married who desire to build and not break."
"Correction is necessary. But constant criticism is corrosive. When every word you speak to your spouse is filled with what they did wrong, didn't do, or should've done better, it becomes toxic. Over time, they stop trying, not because they don't care, but because they believe they're never good enough. Instead of "You never get anything right," try "I appreciate your effort. Let's work on this together.""
Marriage joins two hearts, histories, minds, and souls. A spouse's self-esteem is sacred, fragile, and influential to home health. Mishandling esteem causes it to wither silently, producing a broken version of the loved one. Small, consistent assaults can destroy relationships more than major fights. The health of a spouse's self-worth directly affects the health of the home. Avoid behaviors that erode self-esteem, including constant criticism, the silent treatment, public humiliation, and comparisons to others. Offer correction gently, communicate instead of weaponizing silence, protect dignity in public, and refrain from unfavorable comparisons.
