In any relationship, there will be times of disagreement. How that disagreement is handled is how the outcome will be. Since the enemy's job is to cause divisions among couples, he wants the disagreements to escalate to anger, to quarreling, and then to using words that can pierce like a knife and cause hurt and emotional damage that can last for a very long time. Once those words have left the lips of that individual, those words can never be taken back.

In any relationship, there will be times of disagreement. How that disagreement is handled is how the outcome will be. Since the enemy's job is to cause divisions among couples, he wants the disagreements to escalate to anger, to quarreling, and then to using words that can pierce like a knife and cause hurt and emotional damage that can last for a very long time. Once those words have left the lips of that individual, those words can never be taken back.
We all know that when the discussion turns serious and no one is laughing anymore or the voices start to elevate, the disagreement is starting to head in the wrong direction. What can we do to make sure it does not get out of hand? Proverbs 17:14 says "Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out." - You can't get any simpler than that. Quit why you are ahead, agree to disagree or suggest to talk about it later.
If you were not able to stop it in it's first stage, do what Proverbs 15:1 says which is: "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Even if something is said that you don't like, you can show self control, answer their question in a soft voice and stay away from any remark that they may think is sarcastic. Words are powerful. Use them wisely.

In spite of being childless and with no childrearing moments to celebrate, Elisabeth was faithful in her duty towards God. Both she and Zacharias, although well stricken, were well situated for God to breathe upon their lives and upon their bodies. God was going to do a new thing for this faithful, righteous, and blameless couple. God was about to shine forth his favor upon this unsuspecting couple, and grant unto them a dream come true, which they thought, was a dream deferred, and God can do the same for you!

Let me first say that it's your time and it's your turn! This is the season of the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:31), yielding forth fire, glory, greater, increase, acceleration, etc. However, it's not short of warfare… and we thank God for all of it! I say that because maybe you're like me in that this year [has yielded forth some] unexpected things of life that you had no control over. From losing my job; to my husband's health issues; to personal family matters; so far, this year has been real. And yet...read more inside...
