Avoiding Arguments

• Avoid getting physical. Don’t push, slap, shove or hit. Stay out of your spouse’s face.

• Avoid extreme thinking and talking. “You always…You never…Every time I…” Rarely is the other person at the extreme.

• Avoid the burdens of history—dredging up the past.

• • Col. 3:12 “And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.”
