How to Stop Your Spouse From Swearing....

Found this interesting article from a site " How to stop your spouse from swearing"....profanity and bad language sound ugly and angry, and they set a bad example for the kids. There are a few ways what we can do to get your spouse to stop using Foul Language!
Step1 :Tell your spouse that foul language upsets you. Explain why, and ask your spouse to stop swearing or at least cut back.

Step2 :Remind your spouse--gently. If a bad word slips out, give your spouse a nudge or a glare.

Step3 :Choose your battles. If your spouse casually and frequently drops profanity into conversation, it's not unreasonable to ask him or her to stop. But after your spouse has smashed a finger with a hammer, that's probably not the best time to say, "Watch your language!"

Step4 :Offer rewards and consequences. Make your spouse drop a dollar in a Swear Jar for every slip. Give your spouse a backrub if he or she makes it all the way through the football season without cursing at the TV. These are little things, but they will help make your spouse aware of his or her language.

Step5 :Get your kids involved. It seems like less of a nag when Junior asks Daddy to please stop saying naughty words because it makes him feel bad. This will also help teach your kids that swearing is inappropriate.

Step6: Set an example. Practice what you preach. Choose mild language yourself.
so...Good Luck!
