164. Silent or Explosive? How Shutting Down & Raging Both Hurt Your Marriage

In this episode, we dive into the challenges many couples face when communication breaks down—particularly when reactions fall to extremes. 


Whether it's shutting down and withdrawing or explosive outbursts fueled by anger, both responses can cause long-term damage to your relationship. 


Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger," and James 1:20 teaches us that "Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires." 


Remember, healthy conversations are key to a thriving marriage, and even the hardest talks can strengthen your bond if approached with grace.


Takeaway Challenges:

  1. Reflect on your communication patterns—are you shutting down, or are you prone to explosive anger?
  2. If needed, seek professional help or counseling to work through deeper communication struggles.
  3. Practice Proverbs 15:1 this week—when you feel anger rising, pause and choose a gentle answer to defuse tension.


Remember, honoring your spouse means being willing to have those difficult, yet necessary, conversations without dishonoring yourself or your spouse by withdrawing or explosive outbursts.
