I have no way to respond to any question along those lines. 

For years I've been trying to train my tongue to say, “Yes, dear. You're
right.” For some reason, my brain cannot remember those phrases. 

Although I'm struggling along this line I have learned one thing. My
brain has not let me down on a rather important issue. 

That important issue is, always let your wife have the last word. That's
hard for someone like me to do. My tongue sometimes is completely 
out-of-control, and not listening to what my wife is saying. She 
somehow irritates my tongue, and my brain has no idea what's going on. 

Another important aspect is that my tongue is not connected to my ears.
What I hear is not always what my tongue responds to. I think God gave 
me two ears on either side of my head to control my tongue in some 
regard. 

No matter what I hear with my ears, my tongue has a different story to
tell. 

I have noticed of late that my brain is focused on one subject, my
tongue is focused on another subject, and the twain shall never meet. 
In my devotions this morning I was reading, 1 Peter 3:10, “For he that 
will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from 
evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.” 

I don't know how much better that can be put. To refrain my tongue from
evil is a great discipline in my daily life that offers great rewards 
throughout my life.
