Anger in a Marriage

"We have a responsibility to make our homes and relationships into safe havens where our spouses can feel loved and secure. How is that possible? Where do we begin? Is it possible for us to change our behavior? The answer is yes, people can change. Perhaps one suggestion for change is to learn the doctrine of the taming of the tongue, as taught by James in the New Testament. In James 3:6 we read that “the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.” This is so when we fail to bridle our tongue, as James warns earlier in the epistle (see James 1:26). Truly, our words can dictate the health of our relationships. Those spoken in critical anger can endanger a relationship beyond repair, while those offered in love can build and fortify. " (Chapter 7: Dealing with Anger) 

Constant Love

Certain time eras or cultures have concentrated on the idea of arranged marriages. From most experiences, the couple was not in love at first but learned to love each other throughout the course of their life. As time has progressed, though they're not arranged marries, couples are focusing more on being in love before they decide to get married,  and often that love drifts away. We see that society is in support of this idea of love drifting through a marriage by how easy it is to file for divorce. In "Beyond the Myth of Marital Happiness," we read that the fourth divorce revolution has occurred by having no fault divorce contracts. As a society, we need to push the idea of love staying constant throughout a marriage and allowing it to grow over time.
