In our many years of counseling married couples, we have had to handle different kinds of issues in marriage. Some of the issues, simple and direct while others are pretty complicated and not direct at all.

The Holy Spirit helps us handle these issues. Some of these issues have their root causes in some generational issues, a complex parental issue, a background issue or a habit that was developed while growing up.

Some husbands are good with silent treatment to their wives. There could be a lot of reasons responsible for this kind of treatment but it takes digging into the issue to get to the root cause.

It will be good to note that there could be different things responsible for such actions. The husband could be frustrated at the wife nagging.
The husband could be having issues at work.
The husband might have difficulties communicating his deepest feelings.
The husband might grow up seeing his dad do the same to his mum.
The husband may be involved in extra marital affairs, thus his cold actions.
The husband might be dealing with issues that the wife knows nothing about.
It could be an act of wickedness on the husband’s part.

So, in the scenario above, let’s assume we are in the shoes of the wife, we have to be tactical in finding out the real cause of our husband’s coldness. E.g if he is cold because he is having an affair and we treat it as having issues at work or overact believing he is mean, we would have ended up majoring on the minor and minoring in the major, and not dealing with the issue.

That is why we have to depend on the Holy Spirit in handling issues in our marriage. Some issues may be complicated while some are not as complicated.

Let’s try to be more patient and think deep through the issues that may arise in our marriage.

Let’s also be prayerful, asking God for the spirit of wisdom and revelation. We also need discernment to discern the root cause of issues.

God bless your marriage.
