We hear all the time that the tongue is powerful but the only reason the tongue is powerful is because of the words it uses. Our words are formed in our mind first and we must guard our mind on what we allow to formulate in it when it comes to our spouse and marriage.
I know a couple of years ago, the devil had my mind. I wasn’t sure what was happening but I know what I was doing in my marriage and to my spouse was harmful.
See….
I got lost in “what was happening around me” that I lost control over what I thought about. I allowed isolated “incidents” to make me attack my husband and he had no control over what was happening to us.

So, instead of me using my mind and my words to uplift my husband, I used them to tear him down.
Instead of using my mind and words to change the situation, I made the situation worse.
So, I ask you what type of mindset do you have about your marriage?
Do you have the mindset that you guys will make your marriage work by any means necessary?
Do you have a mindset that nothing is working and there is no need to even try?
When we really step back and look at how we can operate in our marriage, there are 3 mindsets we can take:
Negative mindset: everything you say is negative and you don’t have anything nice to say about your spouse.
Bipolar mindset: you are happy and positive in one minute but the next second you are negative with what you say and your actions
Positive mindset: You look at the glass half full instead of half empty. You are optimistic about what is happening in your marriage.

As much as life throws at us, at any given time we can exhibit all three of the mindsets but it’s imperative that you are aware of your mindset when you are interacting with your spouse.
I did a quick video to help you guys understand how important it is to guard your mind. (Click picture to watch video).
It’s important that you Guard Your Mind!
You must be mindful of what you are thinking because it will come out in your actions and words.
Make up mind that you are willing to be all in your marriage and you will make sure your actions are positive at all times.
It’s important to GUARD YOUR MIND by any means necessary.
