A word rashly spoken cannot be brought back by a chariot and four horses.
A public forum is not the appropriate place to nurse a grudge. Even if you feel your spouse deserves your criticism, never air your anger and resentment in the company of others. Such an action often backfires.
As the afternoon TV talk shows have proven, an audience is more likely to inflame rather than quell an already volatile situation. When you criticize your mate publicly, you not only lower the listener's estimation of your mate, you lower their opinion of you as well. Stop before you speak those negative words. Ask yourself "What do I hope to gain by criticizing my spouse to others?" You'll find that question rarely has a worthy answer.
Disagreements should be discussed behind closed doors.
