My husband is somewhat blunt and clear in his own thoughts, so during my church life, I often felt hurt or offended by every word he said.
Seeing how she was going through a difficult time physically and mentally due to various things, she did not show concern for her family and tried to handle it on her own made me worried a lot.
Then, as the church practiced the “language of a mother’s love that brings peace,” the atmosphere changed little by little. It became natural for us to compliment and encourage each other, and to express our feelings with kindness. The compliments and encouragement I’d never received seemed to be a great source of strength for my husband as well.
Later, as she reflected on the events that had taken place, she came to realize that her words were not good enough, but that she was receiving more attention and love from those around her than she had expected.
She said she wanted to share the love she had received with others. She put the words “Language of Mother’s Love” throughout the workplace and began practicing them. I offer words of praise and encouragement first, and I try to think with the other person’s feelings in mind.
The warm words that began at the church moved my husband’s heart, and I began to see that it extended back to my workplace and those around me.
The language of Mother’s love seems to be a warm communication method that conveys peace from the heart of the speaker to the heart of the listener.
