If you are in a relationship, and you've gotten past the "falling in love" part, you may have entered the occasional to frequent friction matches with each other.
Hot buttons are pushed and yelling (or at least obvious anger) ensues.
Are these matches the same arguments over and over, with the same predictable harsh responses and hurt feelings?
Want a different course?
No matter how right you believe you are, try stopping the course of the argument with a moment of silence. Whatever you would normally say next...don't.
In that split second, silently ask God for a new response and wait until something comes to you that is so helpful that you know it is stamped with God's wisdom.
A good sheriff responds to trouble but he also looks for preventive measures. A few rounds with God's wisdom at the helm will open up some new pathways to resolve conflict.
The sheriff in you will be proud.
