Some Helpful Hints For Your Marriage - Part 3

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Most of the time, we get so much information that we do not care to be grounded in what we think we know and sometimes, head knowledge is different from real knowledge. You don’t know something until you are doing it.

So please don’t get itching ears as the Bible says for just what’s new. Let’s take time to be grounded and think about what I am writing about.

We have looked at

1. Know your spouse’s temperament

2. Don’t take each other for granted.

We will look at:

3. Don’t waste your energy being overly angry at your spouse.

We all get angry at our spouses. Our spouses do things we consider childish, silly, stupid, annoying, disobedient, etc, but please don’t fuss over any matter for so long.

The Bible told us to be angry but not to sin. Let the sun not go down on your anger.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Eph 4:26

When we have these negative emotions, they do more harm than good. We are to forgive our spouse and not allow a root of bitterness.

Don’t let us dwell on the negative things they do. If not we give place to the devil and we will allow unforgiveness, hatred, suspicions, malice, wrath, etc

Anger in marriage weakens our bonds in marriage. We all can testify to the time we were angry at our spouses and would not talk to them. Sometimes, we are even on the same bed but wouldn’t talk to each other.

You may feel justifiable but you know what, little demons are rejoicing and having a nice time in your home and marriage. If this is not controlled on time, it may lead to some other negative effects.

Take time to think about what we are angry about. Really some of the time, it is not worth it. We want to get rid of as many negative emotions as possible from our lives.

Be angry if you must be but please get over it on time and move on to becoming a better person with a good attitude. After all, we are all a work in progress.

May God grant us more understanding.

God bless our marriage.
