Arguments Couples Have

Below, marriage therapists share arguments couples on the verge of divorce usually get into before calling it quits — plus, their best advice for avoiding those fights.

“We aren’t communicating anymore.”

We couldn’t get through a list like this without addressing the age-old couples’ fight over communication. Psychologist Nicole Martinez confirmed that this is the number one problem couples who come into her office report.

“The couple stops being transparent, starts making assumptions and starts hiding things, which ultimately leads to anger and mistrust,” she said. “When communication breaks down, and each person thinks it is beyond repair, they will often believe that divorce is the only option.”

If the couple has any desire to salvage their relationship, Martinez tells them they need to feel safe to be open and honest about their feelings.

“When you’re this close to divorce, it’s a make or break factor in the relationship,” she said.

What the Angels Said — Carol McLeod Ministries
Angels are an intrinsic and dynamic part of the Christmas story. Christmas simply would not have occurred without these God-sent messengers from heaven. We don’t know if the angels were clothed in flowing, white robes, if they had a halo that sparkled, or even if they flew with wings into the Christ

The Mall or the Manger?
Much has changed since the God of the universe decorated the night sky with the star of Bethlehem and directed the choir of angels in a chorus announcing the birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. But the commercialism doesn’t have to rule in our hearts and homes. This year let’s focus on the Christ Child and remember the true meaning of the holiday season. As we turn our eyes to the Babe in the manger, we will not view Christmas as a dreaded obligation or a major retail event. It will be a time of joyous celebration, honoring the One Who came to give us eternal life and worshipping our Heavenly Father.
