Wisdom Wednesday: Don't Go to Bed Mad at Your Spouse

Let’s face it, sometimes in life we will misunderstand each other, which can cause arguments, saying things we don’t really mean, and tension. However no matter what the situation is, we should never end the day with a bad attitude. It’s important to talk through those misunderstandings, even if there is tension. Your relationship (especially marriage) will strengthen if you are able to make an effort to talk through and get past those awkward moments and feelings. It may be harder to do at the time, but you WILL be grateful for it in the end if you do! My husband and I experienced this last night, and can tell you that by refusing to go to sleep until it was worked out and we were on the same page, it made our night go a whole lot better! Whenever those misunderstandings come up, no matter what the situation is, we both make sure to take care of it and get each other on the same page before going to sleep. It helps us in the moment, helps us to sleep without guilt or grudges, and it helps us to start fresh the next day. I tell you all this to show that life can (and will) bring challenges, even to those who do have a strong relationship/marriage like we do, but it’s all in how you decide to handle them that can make or break your relationship/marriage. We choose to fight for our marriage in those moments and to win!
