Lack of Spiritual FoundationNo shared faith or spiritual guidance.Prioritizing worldly desires over biblical principles.Disregard for prayer, church, or biblical teachings in the relationship.2. Absence of Love and RespectSelfishness instead of selfless love (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 as a contrast).Constant criticism, belittling, or lack of appreciation.Emotional neglect and lack of kindness.3. Poor Communication and Conflict ResolutionFrequent arguments filled with anger and resentment.No willingness to listen or understand each other.Use of manipulation, silent treatment, or passive-aggressive behavior. 4. Infidelity and Broken TrustEmotional or physical affairs.Dishonesty and deceit as a pattern in the relationship.Inability to forgive or rebuild trust. 5. Disregard for Biblical Roles and ResponsibilitiesNo servant-hearted leadership from the husband (Ephesians 5:25).No respect or support from the wife (Ephesians 5:22-24).Viewing marriage as a competition instead of a partnership.6. Lack of Commitment and Covenant MindsetViewing marriage as temporary or disposable.Threatening divorce as a manipulation tactic.No willingness to work through difficulties.7. Worldly Influence Over Biblical GuidancePrioritizing culture, social media, or friends over God's Word.Seeking personal happiness over godly obedience.Justifying sin rather than repenting and growing together. 1 Corinthians 6:16 (NKJV)“Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’”8. Unhealthy Family and Parenting DynamicsUsing children as pawns in conflicts.Inconsistent or absent parenting.Setting a poor example of love, faith, and commitment.ConclusionRecap the key elements of an ungodly marriage.Encourage self-reflection and the pursuit of a Christ-centered marriage.Offer hope: redemption is possible through repentance and God’s grace.Now lets look at the BIBLICAL foundations for a relationshipIntroductionEmbracing a New Creation in Christ:2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV):“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”Purpose of Godly Relationships:Emphasize that dating and courtship are meant to honor God and pursue holiness.1. Biblical Foundations for RelationshipsPurity and Holiness:1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 (NKJV):“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.”Commitment in Love:Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NKJV):“Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm;For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave;Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame.Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.”God’s Love as Our Model:1 John 4:9-11 (NKJV):“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. ...

In today’s episode, we’re diving into what anger is, how it affects our lives and relationships, and what the Bible says about managing it.Listener Engagement:Thank you to everyone who has reached out!FOLLOW UP ON CHRIS'S CHALLENGEPractical Ways to Manage AngerPause and ReflectTake a moment to pray and ask God for guidance before reacting.Proverbs 15:1: “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Proverbs 14:29: “Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.” Seek ReconciliationAddress conflicts directly and humbly. Holding grudges only deepens the divide.Matthew 5:23-24: “If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there... and be reconciled.”Rid Yourself of Toxic EmotionsColossians 3:8: “But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.”Biblical Ways to Resolve AngerEmbrace God’s PeaceFill your heart with God’s Word to replace anger with love and patience.Philippians 4:7: “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”Pray for PeacePhilippians 4:6-7: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”Prayer invites God’s peace into your heart and helps you process anger constructively. Practice Self-ControlProverbs 29:11: “A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back.”Proverbs 22:24: “Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered.” Responding with patience and control prevents anger from escalating into sin.Forgive OthersEphesians 4:32: “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”Letting go of anger through forgiveness mirrors God’s grace and heals relationships. Trust in God’s JusticeLet go of the need for revenge or control. God sees all and will bring justice in His time.Romans 12:9-21 (NKJV) – Full Passage for Reflection9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Bekindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient[c] in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given[d] to hospitality.14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have[e] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;If he is thirsty, give him a drink;For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.By practicing these biblical principles, anger can be resolved in a way that reflects God’s love and brings peace to your life.How This Applies to Anger:Verses 9-10: ...
