It’s easy to say things that hurt without even knowing it. Phrases like “You always forget things” or “You’re not as sharp as you used to be” can really sting. Your words have power. They can lift your husband up or bring him down.

Being aware of how these phrases can hurt might help you talk with him better. Let’s look at some phrases that can cause pain and see how you can change them to help instead.

Instead of saying “You always forget things,” try “I know you’re doing your best.” Instead of “You’re not as sharp as you used to be,” say “I appreciate your thoughts.” Small changes can make a big difference in how he feels.

Let’s work together to create a more positive way to talk!
