How To Disagree With Your Spouse

How to Disagree with Your Spouse

If you never have a disagreement with your spouse, I applaud you! And I
want your autograph! Marriage is not an easy undertaking for anyone but
what truly important thing is? In the ward in which I grew up, the current
patriarch and his precious wife have an incredible marriage. This dear
sister has told others that she and her spouse have never had an
argument. She clarified that they had come close once but then they both
started laughing once they realized what was happening. I am far too much
of a live wire apparently. I don’t think that means they never had a
difference of opinion, I think it meant that they did not allow their tempers to
get involved.
How can we share our opinions and ideas without giving or taking offense?
First, try not to be offended if your spouse disagrees with you. Elder Bednar
recently said, “When we believe or say we have been offended, we usually
mean we feel insulted, mistreated, snubbed, or disrespected. And certainly
clumsy, embarrassing, unprincipled, and mean-spirited things do occur in
our interactions with other people that would allow us to take offense.
However, it ultimately is impossible for another person to offend you or to
offend me. Indeed, believing that another person offended us is
fundamentally false. To be offended is a choice we make; it is not
a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.”1
We can choose to allow our hearts to remain open in order to understand
our spouse better.
Second, approach the topic when you are both in a good mood, rather than
reigniting embers of discord.
Third, talk about yourselves as a team, rather than pointing the finger at
your spouse and what you perceive that he or she does incorrectly. No
one wants to hear their name smeared for every wrongdoing in the
household.
Fourth, use soft or gentle language. Proverbs 15: 1 teaches,
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
Fifth, remember that your spouse is your friend. How would you treat a
friend who had a different opinion than you? Would you cross your arms
over your chest and blow out your breath then refuse to talk to your best

girlfriend? Would you slam the door on your way out if a friend asks you to
help him with something? Doubtful.
Our responses of frustration often times come from feelings of hurt,
mistrust, or disrespect in the relationship or from other circumstances
rather than after just one misspoken word. It is up to each one of us to
recognize how our own emotions and thoughts affect our behavior,
because they do indeed affect our relationship with our loved ones.
Not one of us is always right. We bring our differences to the marriage and
hope that we can find a way to make them enhance our relationships,
rather than allow them to pull us apart. We certainly can do that as we learn
how to communicate with each other and seek the companionship of the
Holy Ghost in all aspects of our relationship.

1 “And Nothing Shall Offend Them,” Elder David A. Bednar, General
Conference, October 2006

  • The internet used to be a safe haven to gather new knowledge in the comfort of your space until these scammers sprouted out of the blue like worms and made it unsafe. I am a country music lover, and Kenny Rogers is my idol. I can remember when a notification from Instagram popped on my screen, Guess who, my idol. I was awed and I can remember myself writing about all his impact in my life. I was so sure I was talking to my idol on Instagram. He did say he wanted to introduce me to this quick money-making scheme because he noticed I have been a loyal fan on his official IG page. My idol can never go wrong in my eyes and didn’t even do any research. I hurriedly joined the scheme. I never knew it was a scammer posing as a celebrity till I had invested $540.000.00. It got worse when I couldn’t access my account or withdraw from my investment, I knew there was a problem after all these happenings. I need to get help from any means to ensure I am not a victim of these parasites. I was glad to be able to be introduced to the best CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVER EXPERT known as Spyhost Cyber Security Company. I talked to their representative and they assured me of recovering my stolen investment. And as they promised, they didn’t disappoint as they were very confident in their expertise. My stolen investment was successfully recovered and they were the ones who confirmed to me that I was catfished. If by chance you are in same dilemma you can contact them through the following channels

  • Can scammed money be recovered? Yes through Captain WebGenesis.

    Last month I got scammed.
    I was deceived and misled into giving almost $219,000, my whole life savings, to a fraudulent investment organization. I was left with so much debts. Early last month I saw a promotion post about a Crypto investment and I got interested and decided to give it a try. I deposited $138,000 at first, but the company ultimately advised me to add more money to my initial investment in order to keep it from getting locked. They still persisted in pressuring me to increase my investment even after I had added more money. I decided to ask a friend for help after growing suspicious. He warned me that I was being tricked. I was left devastated. I made the decision to look for means for recovering my lost money. I’ve read a lot about trustworthy hackers that assist scam victims in getting their money back. I decided to contact Captain WebGenesis, who was the most recommended hacker on my search list. Using the mail add (Captainwebgenesis@hackermail.com), I was able to get in touch with Captain WebGenesis. I gave Captain WebGenesis all the information he needed, and to my amazement, he was able to retrieve some of the cryptocurrency I had lost.

  • SECURE RECOVERY OF LOST CRYPTO WALLETS.

    An internet con artist locked my Mycelium Wallet with $68,000, and I couldn’t access my cryptocurrency. I met a broker on the internet who told me that he had a website link that would allow me to make a lot of money from Crypto trading. I lost access to my wallet and my money as soon as I clicked the link. After reading multiple evaluations of Captain WebGenesis, I decided to speak with the expert. I’m pleased to say that he did not disappoint, Captain WebGenesis found all of the missing tokens along with my cryptocurrencies (Btc & Usdt) the total amount of $68000.His charge was reasonable, and he kept me informed at all times.
