It's How You Say It

Have you ever heard the phrase, It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.   If you’re dating, and certainly if you’re married, you want your communication to nurture the relationship.  You want your conversations to be a source of support, encouragement, and love.  So, today I’m going to take extra effort to speak kindly to my wife in my most soothing voice.  I think she’ll appreciate it—she’s had a rough day, too.   So, when you greet your love (significant other) later on today, how are you going to say it?  Remember, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
