Bride's Prayer: Arguing with Your Fiancé

Sometimes during your wedding planning you will get frustrated and angry about something. Unfortunately, the one who is around you the most will get the beating and who is that? Yep, your fiance.

Is it his fault? Maybe, maybe not. He didn't speak up, he didn't defend you, he didn't help, he didn't make the call, he didn't write the note. All this hoopla for the wedding day and it is consuming you and affecting your relationship. You are mad that he didn't help you pick between the chiavari chair versus the garden chair. Would you normally argue about those wedding situations in normal everyday life? No. Don't let the arguments consume you because your relationship prior to being engaged is why you are in engaged. Focus on that.

So before you snap at your honey, take a moment to think. "Am I really mad at him or am I just taking it out on him?"

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. - Proverbs 15:1

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. - Proverbs 15:28

If it remains that you are taking it out on him, take a moment to talk to him about what you are feeling rather than snapping at him. He is your teammate not your enemy! It will make you two stronger and make the frustrations of wedding planning easier. 

The Prayer

God, please help me to be patient and see the bigger picture before saying things I do not mean to those that I love. Help me to see what it really is that stirs me and place those feelings with you so that I don't waste my efforts on anger and worry.
