This teaching stresses how important communication is in a marriage. Some of the things covered are communicating with your spouse about faults or weaknesses in order to get help with the Word, building each other up with words, covering up sins and shortcomings, the importance of just listening to each other, not staying angry, and being patient. The teacher talks about how words can hurt people or build them up and show kind affection and how a word fitly spoken can do more than any gift you could give to your spouse.
