IF ONLY WE WOULD LIVE THE CHRIST-LIKE life in every aspect of our marriages, how gloriously serene and full of tranquility our homes and families would be! They would be colonies of heaven on earth!

In our first anchor scripture, we see the comportment or behaviour of Christ during one of His toughest times on earth. The High Priests hurled wicked and false accusations at him that would have provoked him to anger or self defense but He chose to be silent. Why? Because He knew that it’s not everytime that you have to speak; it’s not everytime that you have to prove that you’re right and your accusers wrong. There are times you keep silent leaving matters in the hands of God to determine. Even small matters.
Sadly, many of us are too proud, too egocentric, too impatient and feel too big to be quiet for peace’s sake. We want to prove that we are right, even if it means bringing the roof down on the entire family. We are unwilling to endure and let God be the Judge and Vindicator. And as a result, we’re prepared to quarrel and do so at the top of our voices; not minding if the entire neighborhood has gathered at the front of our house and listening to our angry and shameful verbal exchanges. Meanwhile, we are leaders in the local church and serve on God’s Altar!

But if we are matured enough to choose the noble path of silence, it’s a matter of time and our angry mate who’s quarreling will have no option but to stop. We have heard it said again and again, “Two Wrongs Can’t Make A Right”.

In our second anchor scripture, we are commanded not to render evil for evil but to do the opposite. We should not shout at our spouse because they shouted at us but should instead give the “contrary blessing.” What’s the contrary blessing to give to the one who shouted you down angrily in front of the children or guests? It’s to respond to them calmly and lovingly and with words that will quickly douse the tension that they started with their rudeness. We must always remember that in life, you don’t use fire to extinguish fire but water!

Don’t be that couple whom neighbours must break the door to separate them from fighting further. Have enough decorum to recognize when your mate has yielded to the enemy(Satan) and keep quiet. Better still take a walk and stay away for awhile from home until the tensions have died down or at least, have reasonably subsided, before returning home.
