Any emotion that leads you into action in your marriage before submitting it to God BECOMES THE MASTER THAT YOU SERVE.
You are a slave to the one you OBEY.
For many marriages, “the one OBEYED” is the emotions of the spouse that lacks self control.
Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)? —Romans 6:16
God created your emotions with purpose:
Not for anger.....but for righteous indignation (Ephesians 4:26).
Not for sadness.....but for godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Not for self happiness.....but for true joy and gladness (Psalm 16:11).
Not for avoiding conflict.....but for establishing true peace (Colossians 3:15).
Many spouses run rampant with ungoverned emotions.
Instead of dying to self and living in Christ, they let their emotions rule their:
Thoughts
Decisions
Interactions
Responses
Feelings
“The heart is deceitful above all things” (Jer 17:9). Unless your emotions are crucified with Christ, they will RULE you instead of SERVE you.
