Becoming – Advice for Strong Relationships; Competing in a Relationship, Harshness in Marriage, Safe Space for Women

In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, she discusses competing in a relationship, your tone being harsh to your wife, and women need a safe place to be herself. This commentary is taken from Tackle the Text titled Pursuit of Happiness in a Relationship with Pastor Keion Henderson and his Associate Pastors of Lighthouse Church in Houston, Texas.

Competition vs Complimenting in a Relationship
Are you competing with each other or complimenting each other in the marriage. Many times we fall into the scenario of competing with our spouse when we do not understand who they are and that they are not the enemy, but your partner. We are fighting to be right, heard, and in control instead of fighting to be supportive, helpful, and encouraging. Marriage is about partnership and working together, not working against one another.

Harshness in a Marriage
Men can and have done much to hurt the woman, and she can recover, but one thing that will make her shut down is consistent harshness. Especially, when you have done her wrong but you want to be harsh with it. You cheat, you hurt her, but you have nastiness with it. You diminish her feelings and her pain. You want to drive a woman away, consistently talk harsh to her and she will lock up her heart and walk away.

Women Need a Safe Space
We all need a safe place to heal and be ourselves. In this episode, Angelina acknowledges that woman need a soft place to land. She needs a place where she can flourish in who she is and who she was created to be.
