Hurting Your Wife ALWAYS Harms Your Marriage

The Generous Husband

Hurting your wife always damages your marriage.

I realise this is kind of obvious, but the reality is most men hurt their wives from time to time despite knowing this truth.

So why do we do it? Why do we keep doing something we know is hurting her?

It might be a lack of self-control. In our anger, fear, or pain, we do or say something that makes us feel better, even though we know it’s hurting her and thus harming our marriage.

In truth, it’s rarely about self-control. If we don’t act that way with other people, then we have the ability to control ourselves. We do it with our wife, and maybe our kids, because we choose to do it. We like the way it makes us feel. Or we use it to avoid a discussion we don’t want to have. We do it to manipulate or control.

Of course none of this is wise, loving, or acceptable to God. And we know that, even as we justify it to ourselves.

When did you last hurt your wife because you chose to not control yourself? How did that work out? Was it a good thing to do?

Do better!
