Using Anger As A Guide.
Why does a wife experience anger toward her husband?
Because in her mind he has disappointed, embarrassed, humiliated, or
rejected her. In short, "he has done her wrong." Anger
originates in the perception that something is wrong. This sense of
morality finds its roots in the fact that we are created in the image of a
God who has established moral law for the good of His creatures.
Anger is not evil; anger is not sinful; anger is not
a part of our fallen nature; anger is not Satan at work in our lives.
Quite the contrary. Anger is evidence that we are made in God's image; it
demonstrates that we still have some concern for justice and righteousness
in spite of our fallen estate. The capacity for anger is strong evidence
that we are more than mere animals. The experience of anger is evidence of
our nobility, not our depravity.
I know that sometimes our anger is not valid, but
let's not curse our anger. Let's examine it and learn to guide it into
loving actions for the good of our marriage.
