4 BAD EMOTIONS THAT WILL KILL YOUR MARRIAGE...
Today I wanted to share something that every married couple or dating couple deals with- anger, arguing, bickering, being plain nasty when your mad...
Hold the tongue, it will work out.. you can talk if you must ( it's a good idea to be calm though), don't throw the blame at either one. Beware of these emotions
1. ANGER - Uncontrolled anger, intimidation and bullying have NO place in marriage. Watch your tone. Anger does NO good, only harm. Remove it.
2. CRITICISM - Listen to me, treat your spouse with kindness and respect. Your job is to build them up, NOT to tear them down. NO ONE wants to live with a critic.
3. BITTERNESS: Or you can call it blame. It can be summed up in once simple line, "It's not me. It's you." Don't be the victim in your arguments, remember that you're on the same team. It's not about who wins or loses an argument.
4. UNFORGIVENESS: It doesn't take a very big person to carry a grudge ... but it DOES take a big person to forgive someone. Marriage is made up of two imperfect people and a healthy marriage is made up of two great forgivers. Don't let your marriage be held back by not forgiving your spouse for something they have done.
I think criticism is a big one! We are too quick to judge our significant other, mostly because we see them every day and can easily compare their ways of doing things to our own!
ReplyDeletethis is a great post. I am definitely, definitely guilty of being too critical sometimes. Something to work on, for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a great reminder. The criticism part is what I struggle with. Definitely not helpful in a marriage!
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy to criticize those we are closest to. This is a good reminder!
