"The sin of verbal abuse knows no gender. Wives, what of the unbridled tongue in your mouth of the power for good or ill in your words? How is it that such a lovely voice, which by divine nature is so angelic, so close to the veil, so instinctively gentle and inherently kind, could ever in turn be so shrill, so biting, so acrid and untamed? A women words can be more piercing then any dagger ever forged, and they can drive the people she loves to retreat beyond a barrier more distant than anyone would ever had imagined when such a verbal exchange was beginning. There is no place in that magnificent spirit of yours for acerbic or abrasive expression of any kind, including gossip, backbiting, or catty remarks. Let it never be said of our home, or our ward, or our neighborhood that "The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity..burning among our members.." James 3:6
