> "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

> many couples think if they argue about these things they're automatically 
> headed for divorce. Conflict doesn't kill relationships. What's important

> 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!
