Don’t yell at me, she yelled at her husband. Then all hell broke loose over a very tiny disagreement that both spouses could have easily settled amicably and rationally. Later, it was realised that she had become more erratic as a result of an earlier incident of emotional instability and abuse of trust she had encountered and suffered in an earlier abusive relationship with a different person, who had anger and rage issues. Thus, we could also infer that the husband did not really know and understand his wife well.
So, in any relationship, please do not overlook a spouse’s emotional intelligence, even within each day (Gal 6:1, Prov 20:3, 13:10, 29:11, 12:18, 16:32, 3:27, Eph 5:28). Be a blessing, and yet sensitive and caring as it is quite helpful. Interestingly, in this story, now the same actions or even more provocative statements by the spouse inspire a more restrained reaction years later. Why? Please make an effort to improve and rejuvenate your thoughts and actions in accordance with sound principles, core values of PET and with Scripture and Self-control. It aids in addressing future and possible problems with emotional instability engagements. Pray!
