Marriage: Embracing Honesty and Gentleness
A 7-day journey to overcome passive-aggressive behavior in marriage through honest, gentle communication rooted in Scripture.
đź“– Introduction
Marriage is one of the most profound relationships we experience, a sacred union designed by God to reflect His love and faithfulness. Yet, like any human relationship, it can be challenging. One common struggle is passive-aggressive behavior—where feelings are expressed indirectly, often causing pain and misunderstanding.
God calls us to higher standards in our communication. The Bible encourages us to speak with honesty and kindness, to build up rather than tear down. Overcoming passive-aggressive tendencies is not merely about changing behavior; it’s about transformation through the Spirit, learning to be transparent and gentle in our words. This creates a safe space for love to flourish and wounds to heal.
Throughout this study, we will explore Scripture that guides us toward open, honest dialogue infused with grace. Each day invites you to reflect on God’s truth, examine personal patterns, and lean on His strength to speak life into your marriage. As you journey through these devotions, may your heart be encouraged and your marriage strengthened by the power of sincere, gentle communication.
