Crossing from Anger to Trust

It's imperative to acknowledge that anger can be provoked in everyone, but it likewise can become the means for creating healthy, strong relationships rather than a force for destroying what’s potentially good and loving. While expressed anger can be frightening, it’s possible for it to be used constructively for resolving conflict and developing trust.

In a counseling session, a woman in a fit of anger took off her shoe and began thrashing her husband. This happened in an instant, to everyone’s dismay. After the adrenaline rush dissipated, she explained that her husband said something that infuriated her, so anger and rage took control.

Proverbs 15:18 declares, “A hot-tempered person stirs up dissension and starts fights.” Explosions of anger and rage seldom resolve issues or bring couples closer together. It’s imperative to accept  responsibility for your anger. Anger can be the means for expressing healthy feelings and thoughts while building a bridge to trust and respect.
