7 Important BOUNDARIES that Every Marriage Needs

7.  Speaking unkindly to or shouting at one another.

Every married couple is going to disagree at some point, and we might argue at times.  It is good to go ahead and talk through a disagreement than to hold it inside and let it fester.

However…and let me make this crystal clear…it is NEVER okay to speak in a nasty tone, use harsh language, or scream and shout at each other.  This is being verbally abusive, and contrary to the age-old saying, words CAN hurt us.  

It’s hard to forget hateful things that are said to us.  We don’t have a license to give our spouse a tongue-lashing.  In fact, we made a promise to love our spouse through the good and the bad.  Lashing out at each other is certainly not loving one another.  We must always do out best to approach a disagreement with our spouse as calmly and lovingly as possible.
