CORDIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH BETTER COMMUNICATIONS IN MARRIAGES  ( PART 1) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

 Derogatory Things a Wife Should Avoid Saying to Her Husband for a Cordial Relationship

 Exodus 4:24-26

"Now it happened at the lodging place that the LORD met him and sought to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it and said, ‘Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.’ So He let him alone."

    Marriage is a sacred covenant where words play a significant role in shaping the atmosphere of the home. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Words can either nurture love or poison intimacy.

   In Exodus 4:24-26, Moses was under divine judgment because he neglected to circumcise his son, violating God’s covenant law. At that critical moment, Zipporah acted wisely. She did not curse Moses, ridicule him, or remind him of his failure. Instead, she intervened decisively to save his life. This teaches wives the power of supportive action and respectful speech even when their husbands falter.

    Sadly, many marriages suffer because of careless or derogatory words. Below are some statements a wife should never say to her husband if she desires a loving and cordial relationship , the same rules apply to husbands too. 

1. “YOU ARE USELESS!”

This statement attacks his identity and erodes his confidence as the head of the home.

2. “YOU WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING.”

Words like these kill motivation and hope. Every man needs encouragement, not condemnation.

3. “MY FATHER/BROTHER IS BETTER THAN YOU.”

Comparisons destroy intimacy and create resentment.

4. “I REGRET MARRYING YOU.”

Such words undo the commitment you made before God and tear at the foundation of trust.

5. “YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT.”

This negates his efforts and discourages progress.

6. “I SHOULD HAVE MARRIED SOMEONE ELSE.”

It’s a dagger to the heart of love and breeds insecurity.

7. “YOU ARE NOT A REAL MAN.”

Attacking his masculinity creates deep emotional wounds.

8. “YOU ARE TOO POOR TO BE MY HUSBAND.”

Insulting his financial status shames him and pushes him away.

9. “I DON’T NEED YOU.”

This devalues his role as a protector, provider, and partner.

10. “YOU ARE A FAILURE.” 

Labels like this crush his spirit and hinder his leadership.

If you have ever said any of such to your husband seek forgiveness from God and from him for the healing of your marriage ( James 5:16) and in our daily prayers we should ask for a meek spirit that is open to correction .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to love.
