MARRIAGE SIMPLIFIED 😶🌫️💥
<p style="text-align: center; "><strong>WHEN YOUR SPOUSE TELLS YOU, "YOU HURT ME," DON'T DEFEND YOURSELF FIRST </strong></p><p><br/></p><p>One of the quickest ways to damage a marriage is to dismiss your spouse's pain. If your husband or wife tells you that something you said or did hurt them, your first response should not be to defend yourself, justify your actions, or explain why you did it. Even if your intention was good, the hurt they experienced is real. Healing begins when their pain is acknowledged.</p><p><strong><em><br/></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em>GODLY WISDOM FOR COUPLES: 👇</em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em><br/></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em>1. Don't argue with someone's pain. Listen first.</em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em><br/></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em>2. An explanation is not a substitute for an apology.</em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em><br/></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em>3. Saying, "I didn't mean to hurt you," is not the same as saying, "I'm sorry I hurt you."</em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em><br/></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em>4. A sincere apology does not make you weak; it shows maturity.</em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em><br/></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: center; "><strong><em>5. Stop focusing only on your intention.
