@monicaumunna: You do not have to choose between being honest and being gentle!! I think sometimes we’ve confused gentleness with being passive, weak, or afraid to say the hard thing. But biblical gentleness has never meant avoiding the truth. It’s about having enough self-control to deliver the truth in a way that can actually be received. I can bring my husband a complaint. I can ask him to change something. I can tell him when something hurt me. I can remind him of something that needs to be done. None of that requires me to be rude in order to be taken seriously. In fact, I’ve learned the opposite. When I speak to my husband gently, he doesn’t have to fight through my tone to hear my heart ♥️ “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1 Gentleness doesn’t weaken the message. It removes an unnecessary barrier to receiving it 🔥🫡🙏🏼

Call me crazy but shouldn't you be speaking to *everyone* gently...? This is just how speaking works. Be nice to people. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤨

As the husband, I find it really hard to ask for the gentleness and kindness without feeling like I'm just being too sensitive. Part of my inner voice just says I'm an adult and I shouldn't need to be talked to like I'm being gentle parented, and if I do I'm the problem.

Mutual respect should be standard in relationships and it blows my mind that people don’t understand that

Men value RESPECT almost above anything else. When speaking to a man harshly, especially at the opening of a conversation, it is VERY DIFFICULT to hear past the comment because there is a voice screaming inside his head that is saying “WHO IN THE HECK DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE TALKING TO?”. Especially if he is the primary bread winner, and go to person for the difficult stuff. After the comment, the adrenaline spikes, the nervous system spikes, the fight or flight system spikes, and all the words said afterwards sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher: “wahh wahh, wahh wahh wan wahh wahh”. Especially if they are the one the tone is generally always reserved for OR she has shown that she will lose her ever loving mind if he speaks to her in that manner. (Cue internal head conversation: “Woman, I don’t know who you think you are talking to, but you best back up, turn the volume and tone WAY BACK, and talk to me in the same manner that you do your parents, best friends, and hopefully your children… I don’t have to take this from you.” (Or anyone else)
