This is something I have been learning about and getting practical experience with my husband
When I don't check myself and let my (unhelpful) thoughts fly out of my mouth, not only is it hurtful to my husband, it is hurtful to me. I go away from it with nothing gained and feeling bad for both of us.
The aftermath of keeping my mouth shut is a freeing experience of relief and moving, growing, living in a better way.
