When I’m angry, tired, or otherwise stressed, I can be “quick-tempered.” In those situations, sometimes words come out my mouth that I really don’t intend, haven’t thought about, and can consequently do damage to my WoA spouse.
Proverbs 14:17a:
A quick-tempered man does foolish things.
It’s particularly important in those times of high emotion to take a breath and consider how the words you choose will be received.
I wish I had wisdom to share in how exactly to do this but unfortunately I’m on the “foolish” end of this equation more often than not.
