9 critical relationship mistakes most couples make which always ruin their relationships (Take Note)

Second, agree to call a time out when emotion starts to run high. The scriptures are clear about the problem with anger. “My dear brother, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life God desires.” (James 1: 19-20) Here the apostle James is clear—two ears to hear, one mouth to speak carefully. We must practice really listening, not pushing our agenda. When we become defensive, that is usually a signal to call a time out. When emotion begins to run high, which will happen, call a time out and start again when both feel settled.
