Every spouse comes from the dinged and dented section of the grocery store. Adam and Eve were the only two spouses that entered into a covenant in a perfect state. Of course, that relationship went to pot.
And the rest of us came from their broken pots of clay (Romans 5:12; 2 Corinthians 4:7). The key for each spouse is to understand their unique brokenness rather than general brokenness and how their unique dysfunctions relate to each other. https://lifeovercoffee.com/a-unique-wife-helping-a-unique-man-change-is-the-best/

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.

Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
