Deal Breakers In A Relationship – 100 Things To Never Say
Want to know some deal breakers in a relationship? Here are 100 things you should never say to your partner.
Let’s chat about deal breakers in a relationship.
Recently I published two posts on the power of words when parenting.
These posts 100 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY TO A CHILD – WORDS CUT DEEP and 100 WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR KIDS – POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY reinforced the importance of choosing your words wisely.
The equation is pretty simple.
Positive words = positive impact.
Negative words = negative impact.
We make sure to tread gently with our kids’ hearts but how often do you treat your partner with the same dignity, love and respect that you show others?
It doesn’t matter how old you are – careless words cut deep.
Words can be used as weapons or alternatively to heal, nurture and reconnect.
As Ursula Leguin said, love doesn’t sit there like a stone. It has to be made like bread; re-made every day, made new.
With view to encouraging you to build and maintain the healthiest relationship with your partner here is the adult version of the previous post.
