Stop Exploding at Your Family: Biblical Communication Tips
Manage episode 517657398 series 3676290
Do you find yourself losing your temper the moment your husband walks through the door? Or snapping at your kids over small things? You're not alone and there's a better way.
In this episode, we're diving into what the Bible says about being a quarrelsome wife (yes, it's convicting!) and how we as women set the atmosphere of our homes. Proverbs warns us that a quarrelsome wife can tear down even the loveliest home, but the good news is we can learn to build it up instead.
I'm sharing a personal story from early in my marriage when I would explode at my husband for being late to dinner, and how we learned to communicate in a way that brought peace instead of conflict. You'll learn the simple "I-statement vs. you-statement" technique that changed everything for us and how you can teach it to your kids too.
A peaceful home isn't about having the right decor or enough money, it's about your heart. Let's talk about how to create that refuge your family craves.
In this episode:
- What Proverbs says about the quarrelsome wife (and why it matters)
- The communication technique that stops arguments before they start
- How to express hurt feelings without putting your spouse on the defensive
- Why peace cannot coexist with contention in your home
Let's build homes our families actually want to come home to.
