Elevating the Conversation

By Fawn Weaver on Thursday, January 12, 2012

Last week, I wrote a blog post on changing the conversation about marriage around the world and

 asked each of you to join me in being that one voice in your group of friends who refuses to “husband bash” or speak poorly about marriage.  I asked you to commit to being the one to elevate the conversation.

That blog post received close to 2,000 views and we had hundreds and hundreds of women join this Club that day.  The message resonated.  It struck home.  And I’m so glad it did.

Our words are powerful.  Every word that flows from our mouth contains the power to grant life or death.  We can speak life into our marriage.  We can speak life into our friend’s marriage.  We can speak life into every leaving creature simply by parting our lips and allowing an audible and understandable sound to depart.

What so many of you promised last week is that you’d elevate the conversation in your core group of girlfriends.  Among your family members, you would build your husband up and speak well of marriage.  You didn’t say you wouldn’t face challenges in your life, you simply committed not to dwell on them.  You’d focus on the positive and view marriage through the lens of gratitude and grace.

I consider it a blessing and honor to be a member of this Club.  And I’m so grateful to each of you for making the choice to change the conversation and elevate the discussion about marriage around the word.

Question: So, are you in?  Will you help us elevate the conversation about marriage in your immediate group of friends and family?

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
