1505 Stay Calm and Give Grace

Does your spouse make you so mad to the point that you
could care less about how you respond? Stay calm and show
grace.


But that is SO hard to do. How can you stay calm in a situation
where you are challenged, where your character is questioned?

How can you extend grace and give the benefit of the doubt when
it seems that your spouse is never giving it to you?


Relationships can bring out the best or the worst in us. And
marriage is no different.


We are either quick to love or quick to lash out.


Fair or unfair, protecting self is the ego's reaction. Don't push
against me, because I can push against you.


There are times where my sweet husband gets under my nerves. He
says something that rubs me the wrong way. He makes a comment
that I interpret to be negative or judgmental of my capabilities.
He responds with a harsh action that is a disservice to me.


Now understand, this is how I perceive his communication.


His words, his actions, and his reactions meet my interpretations
and I draw a conclusion.


And to my defense, it's to "protect" my ego; who I am. No one
wants to feel less than. No one wants to be made fun of. No one
wants anything less than to be loved.


But again, it's my interpretations of his multiple responses.


If I continue to let the sun set on what I perceive, the marriage
will be a disaster in the making.


The marriage is doomed.


However, you don't have to let your ego get in the way of love
and appreciation for your partner, even in the mix of
miscommunication and hurt.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Stay calm and give grace!

Why add fuel to the fire?


Yet that is exactly what we do. We put on our armor to fight and
defend ourselves. We let the ego lead the battle instead of
letting our heart fight with a greater impact.


I get that there are going to be times when we need to rise up
and defend.


But when it becomes your daily backlash to "prove yourself",
that's not serving you, your marriage, or your spouse.


In a committed relationship (and in this instance, we're talking
about marriage), it's important to look at how you respond in
situations where you are challenged.


It's important to come from a place that serves you and does not
hinder you.


Stay calm and give grace.
Stay calm. Take a deep breath. BREATHE! Take a
step back. Don't be rushed to lash out. Speak the truth in
love. When you come from a place that builds up, it's
easier to see a solution rather than the problem. Give
grace. This is the benefit of the doubt. Love them where
they're at. It's not always easy.

This builds a foundation where forgiveness begins and love wins.


Feeding the ego is the death of your marriage.


You have to be willing to sacrifice your ego for the sake of your
marriage.


Marriage is where two becomes one.


At no time will your marriage be perfect. In fact, if you think
it is, there is probably a bigger problem.
"Stay calm and give grace!"
