Chelsea and I finish our discussion of slander in marriage by giving positive alternatives to hurtful words.

What are ways we can build up our spouse to avoid temptations to slander?

1. Show kindness
2. Allow for positive silence
3. Display grace
4. Use encouraging words
5. Express a thankful attitude
6. Forgive
7. Intentionally make time together
