There is a time to speak, and a time to hold your tongue. The Apostle James says the tongue can be like a spark that sets a forest ablaze. Sometimes even the smallest comment, one we believe is innocuous can be provocative. Take time to consider whether or not to say something. Consider the impact your words are likely to have on your mate.
