Summary of Part 3:
Human reactions to mistreatment, hurt, or betrayal can be strong, especially when the pain is inflicted by our spouse. To prevent further damage to our marriage and ourselves, it is important to slow down and think about our responses to our spouse. Breaking habits and replacing them with Christlike behaviours can benefit both our marriage and our relationship with God.

Our tongue is a powerful weapon of good and evil, and our words can be used to curse, criticize, complain, and show contempt for our spouse. Controlling our tongue and negative emotions is crucial for acting right when our spouse acts wrong. Writing letters to our spouse can help rid ourselves of destructive emotions and clarify our feelings and thoughts in preparation for when we are in the right frame of mind to articulate them. By doing so, we can grow as Christ-like individuals and glorify God in the process.
