Words That Are Marriage Killers

Marriage is a difficult relationship to maintain over the years. It takes some words to end a marriage and several long years to build it. Words are mightier than sword. And sometimes words can hurt much more than slaps. That is why, married couples should not say unforgivable things to each other. Words are often the worst marriage killers.

In this day and age, there are a lot of marriage killer elements that are beyond our control. For example, stress, work pressure and lack of time are marriage killers that you may not be able to negate. But your words are under your control until and unless you speak them out. Words once spoken are like arrows that are shot, they can never be returned. That is why words speed up the end of a marriage.

If only you could control your words, you could actually save your relationships from breaking up. It is not just abusive words but even normal words said in certain contexts can hurt your spouse irrevocably. That is why you need to know which are the set of words that are marriage killers. Try to avoid saying these words to your spouse if you want to save your relationship.

We Need To Talk

We Need To Talk

When you say that it indicates that you have to talk about something unpleasant. You can directly start with an endearment or just broach the subject you want to discuss.

Damn You

Damn You

Don't use the swear word 'damn' or any of its derivatives when you are talking to your spouse. It means you are so frustrated with your spouse that you really don't care about anything any more.

You Are A Mamma's Boy

You Are A Mamma's Boy

All men are attached to their mothers and no man ever admits to it. So, do not attack him on that front.

You Aren't Spending Your Father's Money Anymore

You Aren't Spending Your Father's Money Anymore

Actually she isn't supposed to. Women idolise their fathers and you must never drag her father into an argument just to hurt her. She may never forgive you for it.

I Have Started Hating You

I Have Started Hating You

'Love' and 'hate' are both 4 letter words that carry the weight of 4 million tons. Do not use either of the words cheaply.

Have You Been Cheating On Me?

Have You Been Cheating On Me?

If you have caught your spouse cheating then this question is pointless. If you are just being insecure then you have just insulted your spouse enough to leave you.

Get Out Of Here

Get Out Of Here

Never ever ask your spouse to leave the room or house during a bitter fight. If you need some space you can always say 'I want to be alone for sometime'.

Slang

Slang

Name calling and abusive language is an unforgivable mistake in marriage. Once you call your husband a 'dog' or your wife a 'hag' it will ring in his or her ears forever.

I Have Had Enough

I Have Had Enough

You are not the only person in the relationship, so you cannot possibly have enough just on your own. Your spouse will read this sentence as a precursor to ending the relationship.

Divorce

Divorce

Talk about divorce only when you mean it. Don't use it as a hanging sword to threaten your spouse. If your spouse takes you literally then your marriage will be over.
