Would you believe me if I told you that anger was a natural and helpful emotion, even in your marriage? It’s not a negative emotion, but the way you express it can be positive or negative. It comes in many forms such as frustration, irritation, bitterness, humiliation, disappointment, etc., and usually tells you that a boundary has been crossed and something needs to happen to prevent that boundary from being crossed again. Although anger is helpful, if it goes unchecked, it can be like a toxic “friend” that whispers negative ideas into your head about your partner. We’ve all seen that friend whether in your real life or on TV that never has anything positive to say about the person you chose. All they see is the wrong they have done and constantly bring it up to you, which goes against what 1 Corinthians 13:5 says (love does not keep record of wrong). See Note 1. I want you to know that if anger goes unchecked it can make you forget the true character of your spouse/partner.
