Anger
From a Self-Centered Heart.
Valid anger grows out of a concern for
right, but much of our anger comes from a self-centered heart. Our spouse
rubbed us the wrong way, or we didn't get what we wanted, so we got angry.
This is distorted anger and reveals our own selfish attitude. So we sulk,
and withdraw in silence or we lash out with hurtful words.
A lady said to me recently, "My
husband gets mad about the least little thing. I can't talk because I'm
afraid I will say something that will trip his anger." On the other
hand, he complained, "She never wants to spend any time with
me." Hey guys Wake Up. If she is running from you, there is a reason.
Why not sit down and say, "I know I'm
not a perfect husband, but I want to improve. Can tell me what bothers you
most about my behavior." Then hold on to your chair and listen she
says, "Your angry outburst really hurt me." Believe her, and ask
for her advise on how can manage your anger. Having lived with you, she
has read the books and will have some good advice.
