Every person is well aware of how true and powerful the quote “the tongue is mightier than the sword” can be. Hurtful words can create more lasting and devastating pain and suffering than any wound inflicted by a sword. One of the secrets to increase romance and happiness in your relationship is a couple’s ability to avoid emotionally cutting words, while presenting less than flattering feedback or information to your partner (sometimes referred to as constructive criticism). By doing this you will be able to get your message across to your partner without getting the messenger — and your relationship — killed along the way!
