5. Let Your Actions Communicate Your Desire for Unity.
When you apologize to your spouse, show your commitment to unity in an appropriate way. For example, when I humble myself enough to hug my wife, hold her hand, touch her shoulder, etc., it communicates to her that I seriously mean what I’m saying. Sometimes, one simple touch can change the whole mood of the conversation.
6. Never Raise Your Voice
Never raise your voice. Talk to your spouse; don’t yell. Love never needs to wield such a weapon. If you raise your voice, very soon you will lose it.
7. Never Try to Punish Your Spouse.
Pouting or ignoring your spouse is never a sign of maturity; it’s a sign of pride.
8. Remind Yourself: Every Moment You Spend With Your Spouse is a Blessing From the Lord.
None of us is guaranteed to wake up another morning beside our spouse. Don’t let petty arguments drive you away from each other. Each day is an opportunity to either grow or stifle your love for one another.
