From Sister Linda K. Burton's talk in April 2015 General Conference:
Sisters and brothers, how often do we intentionally "speak kind words to each other"? We might test ourselves by asking a few questions.
1. When was the last time I sincerely praised my companion, either alone or in the presence of our children?
2. When was the last time I thanked, expressed love for, or earnestly pleaded in faith for him or her in prayer?
3. When was the last time I stopped myself from saying something I knew could be hurtful?
4. When was the last time I apologized and humbly asked for forgiveness--without adding the words "but if only you had" or "but if only you hadn't"?
5. When was the last time I chose to be happy rather than demanding to be right?
