Prov. 27: 15 A nagging wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.16 Stopping her is like trying to stop the wind. It's like trying to grab olive oil with your hand.17 As iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another.18 A person who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit. And a person who protects their master will be honored.

Ephesians 4:26-27 Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. 27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness].

Proverbs 6:32-33 32 But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. 33 Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.

1 Cor. 7:1-7 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 Now as a concession, not a command, I say this.[a] 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.

Let brotherly love continue. If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,Yet He did not open His mouth [to complain or defend Himself]; Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before her shearers, So He did not open His mouth. Proverbs 13:3 The one who guards his mouth [thinking before he speaks] protects his life; The one who opens his lips wide [and chatters without thinking] comes to ruin. Psalm 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. Read James 3:1-12 for more context.

The struggle of Compromise in relationships

Relationships can be a hassle trying to navigate our feelings and those of our partner. Trust me I know. As a licensed counsellor, one of the major crisis in relationships, I have found to be is the struggle between the compromise of whether you want to change for the sake of peace in the relationship or walk away with irreconcilable differences. I am often asked, "why does he want to change me?"; "why do I have to change what I have done all these years before I met him?"

One question I constantly asked in my failed marriage was, "If he says he loves me this much, then why wont he change for me?"

Well, let's talk about it.
