How to Stop Arguing with Your Husband
How to Stop Arguing with Your Husband
Men and women have been disagreeing since cave man days but that needs to change. Living in harmony is one of those blessed things that we all should have. Arguing only breeds resentment and bitterness. Here are a few steps you can start practicing to quell some of the fires.
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You'll Need:
Patience
Understanding of a man
Gentleness
Love
Step 1
ADAM WAS NEAR EVE
No one really knows where the bickering and fighting started but some say in the Garden of Eden. Adam was asleep near Eve when the serpent approached and conversed with her. If Adam was so close, why didn't he break up that conversation? Here's the proof that he was near:Genesis 3:6____So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.Clearly he was in close proximity to Eve and that may have been the beginning of the end.
Step 2
MAN DOES HAVE AUTHORITY
Now that we have settled that issue, there is one more small detail that is noteworthy. God created man first! He put man in charge of a lot of things, not woman. Please note:Genesis 1:26-27___Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[b] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.Man was created to dominate. Notice the word above dominion.
Step 3
RESPECT HIM
Ephesians 5:33Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.See if God commanded it, it is settled. A woman should seek to respect her man in all walks of life. She should be his helpmate, his friend, his lover and confidant. These make a man feel loved and wanted. Try to see if you can do this because this is very important in settling feuds.
Step 4
HONOR HIM
Psalm 8:5For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.Again, since God made man a little lower than the angels and crowned him with glory and honor, you have no right to dishonor him. To honor him simply means to give to him what is due.
Step 5
YOU ARE ADAM'S RIB
Genesis 2:21-22___21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. It is a fact that Adam's missing rib was formed into woman. No questions there. But did you ever consider more than ribs were removed? His nurturing nature, maternal instincts, sensitivity, some common sense, overactive emotions. These things were given to women. Wer are all the above. That doesn't make him any less a man but rather make you a better woman considering where you came from.
Step 6
WOMAN CREATED FOR MAN
1 Corinthians 11:8-9___ 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.Any Questions?
Step 7
BE LOVERS, NOT WARRIORS
1 Corinthians 11:11-12___ 11 Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. 12 For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God. God's plan on how we should act in marriage are clearly documented. It may be hard to due if you are in an abusive or debasing relationship. You didn't make your husband, therefore you can't remake him. Quit trying because it is futile. Give him back to his maker and results will have a chance to start. It won't happen over night. Just be patient.
Step 8
YOU CAN BE HAPPY
Ephesians 5:25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,You didn't think I would not tell you man's responsibility in all this, did you? Well the scripture said it for me. When a man loves his wife, he has chosen committment, honor, respect towards you. When he loves his wife, he loves himself.Eph 5:28___28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.Couldn't have said it better myself.
Step 9
JUST STOP!
*Stop blaming*Quit criticizing*Squash the nonsense*Learn to be more patient*Count the good in your husband, I bet it outweighs the bad*Be thankful and show some gratitude *Know that it is hell being alone and you can't do it all*Show him kindness, gentleness and self control*Arguements are nothing but a cesspool of hatred and detriment
