A dedicated wife inspired thousands online by sharing the intentional steps she takes to build her husband up through mindful communication.
The clip shared on TikTok by user @mrs.khoabane garnered massive views from an online community that resonated with her traditional yet empowering marriage advice.
In the video, @mrs.khoabane explains that she avoids using terms like ‘never’ or ‘always’ during disagreements to ensure she addresses the situation rather than attacking her husband’s character. She refuses to refer to her husband as a child, noting that ‘mothering’ a spouse destroys the respect required to see him as a king.
Building a king through mindful speech
Furthermore, TikTok user @mrs.khoabane emphasises that she never compares him to other men or uses his private vulnerabilities as a weapon during conflicts. Having admitted to being subtly rude in their early years, she credits her growth to becoming a student of her partner and recognising that her tongue has the power to either build or destroy his spirit.
