How Couples Can Keep Emotions In Check – Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We started on the topic “How Couples Can Keep Emotions in Check” Yesterday, we started on this anger issue. I told us anger can be used positively, like the case of Jabez, who changed his story when he got angry.

In the context of marriage, however, you can start handling your anger in a positive way by using these 2 methods.

1. Trace back the source of your anger.

Most people’s anger could be traced to something that happened way back in their past. A parent abandoned them, the death of a loved one, something negative that happened, and so on.

We are angry because of pain. Think back and get the source of what makes you angry. Don’t just ignore it, thinking it will pass away.

2. Admit your anger

What you don’t admit, you cannot take responsibility over. It is until you admit and agree that you have anger problem that is hurting you and your loved ones, it holds its grip over you.

Become vulnerable, admit it as a sin, then and only then can you be free to handle these negative emotions.

Also know that we all express anger for different reasons and in different ways. Don’t judge your spouse. Focus on dealing with your own anger problems before trying to help your spouse.

God bless our marriage
