> "MAY...GOD...GIVE YOU A SPIRIT OF UNITY." ( ROMANS 15:5 NIV ) MARRIAGE
> MYTHS (2) We're just not compatible. Marital disagreements fall into 5
> categories: money, sex, in laws, kids, and household responsibilities. Too
> many couples think if they argue about these things they're automatically
> headed for divorce. Conflict doesn't kill relationships. What's important
> is how you deal with it, not the fact that it exists. one woman said, "My
> husband hates confrontation so when problems arose in our marriage he just
> walked away. I went ballistic and nothing got settled. Eventually we
> learned to talk about handling our disagreements; he can't walk away and I
> can't get hysterical. It works...now we work tother to resolve problems."
> Anger is just part of your emotional makeup; God didn't make a mistake
> when He included it. But He wants you to handle it right ( Mt 15:16 ).
> Being upset doesn't give you licence to yell and slam doors. Solomon said,
> "A fool gives full vent to his
> anger...a wise man keeps himself under control" ( Pr 29:11 NIV ). Hasty
> words hurt, and they can't be taken back. David said, "In your anger do
> not sin...search your hearts...be silent" ( Pr 4:4 NIV ). In other words,
> think, listen, and calm down before you react.And never resort to name
> calling ( See Mt 5:22 ); it serves no purpose but to intentionally hurt
> the other person. We live in a culture of lawsuits and revenge, but a
> marriage built on retaliation is headed for trouble. God said "Don't
> insist on getting even...I'll take care of it" ( Ro 12:19 TM). You can
> become physically and emotionally sick by hanging on to bitterness. So
> release it and ask God to fill your heart with His love. He'll do it!
