Have you pinched your spouse lately? If you haven’t, you might want to! So many times we get into fights with our mate and we are convinced that THEY are the problem. With contempt in our hearts and minds, we see our mate as a buffoon and if they would just get their act together we would be happy.
The problem with this is that we are failing to see what the real problem is. The scriptures tell us that our battles and conflicts aren’t with flesh and blood; rather, our battle is with things spiritual. Evil sneaks in and picks fights between us as if we are roosters in a cock fight. We are pitted against each other and before we know it we are in a mortal battle to save our significance, worth, or beloved-ness.
Instead of fighting your mate, turn and attack the problem that is coming between you. Let them know you are “on their team” and are unwilling to let things come between you. If you have to - pinch your mate. Better yet, pinch yourself!
