Anger in me has destroyed my marriage. My wife nolonger trust me. Our divorce will be finalized soon. I have let God down. I have let my wife and kids down also. I have repented of my sins, and asked God to heal my heart and soul. I pray daily for my wife to be healed along with my children. I am fully prepared for the life of singleness if that is what God chooses for me. I love my wife and children. I am now putting God first in my life. I will never be in another relationship unless it is with my wife.

I can hear the hurt amd disappointment, man. I am so sorry for the pain this MUST be bringing to all of you, right now. I want to urge you to keep cl8nging to what you know of the cross, meditating on what happened there, and how it applies to you, your wife, and your kids. Keep listening to what Holy Spirit says, more than ANYONE else (that *especially* includes your wife, --who, at THIS juncture, will have your thoughts in a HORRIBLE tailspin). Praying for you right now, man...

In a world full of internet garbage this podcast is a huge blessing. Thankful I can go back and reference this in 2020. God is gracious.

I'm 4 years late but loving every piece of advice Pastor John has given regard to marriage. the first video was about divorce, which he did not endorse. At the time I was really upset with his recommendation but curious all the same. one sentence stuck with me: Your spouse is the person God wants for You. I began to look into this and while seeking the Lord in prayer and scripture as the days passed, the Lord has made clear the path He wants me to follow, and the more I listen and obey the more miracles I see in my life. He is working on my bitterness and giving me peace, and most importantly a new focus. Praise the Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father, to Him be the Glory forever. Seek and you will find. He wants to help so let him.

I've battled anger for years, John Piper is 100% correct! I will through Jesus and the Holy Spirit defeat this spirit.

Never hold anger towards your spouse....LOVE!

TRUE. As we all struggle thru this life, we must Get that Nurtured anger is unforgiveness and thereby sinful. I threatened to leave my husband because I sinned against him now 5 years later he still holds it against me daily. I'm now angry with him because he won't stop reminding me of it daily. What a vicious circle. Lord Have Mercy!

much needed. Thanks, Praise, n Glory to GOD!

Thank you for this guys

Very good and helpful. God bless him.

He has such wisdom!

I never realised I had an evil spirit of anger working in my life until God opened my eyes in 2017 through Emmanuel TV’s ministry. I know I get angry easily and people are walking on eggshells around me but I never knew it was so detrimental to me and everybody. So when God revealed to me, I really was able to work on this area of weakness which the devil has hold on me. My father has the same spirit and it was passed to me. I want to get delivered from it and that means either through an anointed ministry or self deliverance through my close walk with God’s Word and surrendering of my self to Him. It has been working. Choosing God rather than cooperating with my flesh and in cahoots with the spirit. Many many people both women and men have this evil spirit, it is a very common one. May God help us to yield to Him and not give the enemy a foothold to cause destruction.

There are three of us in our marriage; me, my husband and my husband's smartphone. Here in lockdown, I feel so lonely. I hadn't realised we had become virtual strangers.

Anger is an emotion that is useful if one is aware of it and shares their feelings honestly with God. He will help you as you ask yourself "why am I angry?" It could really be fear and a lack of faith? Is it pointing out pride? Say, my ego was bruised, so now I'm angry, or because I fear looking bad in front of someone else so because of that, you're mad. Most of the time, I root my sinful anger in those two sins; fear/lack of faith, or pride. Once I'm honest with God and myself, I'm able to get over the anger much more quickly. I love 2 stories of how God dealt with people who were angry in the bible. God seemed to want to teach through these people's anger and guide them. They are Cain right before he killed his brother Abel (Gen 4:3-8), and Jonah after God spared Ninevah (Jonah 4:1-11). God notices our feelings, isn't offended by them and is willing to help us deal with them. So don't be afraid to go to God when you're angry. The emotion isn't a sin, but can it can lead to sin but God is there to help us if we just share it with him.

Be ye angry and sin not. Unforgiveness is a sin, roots of bitterness (and anger can become a root of bitterness) is a sin. Cursing is a sin. However we all have a chance to repent and be saved unless we commit the unpardonable sin which is blasphemy against The Holy Spirit.

Wow thank you for this wow

Wow.

Please pray for me... My husband is an anger addict, it cause a lot of distress in our marriage, as time goes by, because he is also narcissist..my love for him is dying..it seems like continue staying with him makes me commit sin more often because I tend to get angry as well if he nags... Whenever I'm with him, the kids and I felt this tendency to be angry and hot-headed as well..., I'm not happy with my marriage anymore.. he doesn't like my biological family to even have a vacation here in our house, he hates my siblings,, I'm a Chistian married to a former Catholic..but I never saw in him the changed life being a born again..his old ways the first time I met him are still the same until now...is it better to separate to him atleast I'm not gonna tempted to commit sin of being angry as well, than to be with him and hating him every single day?

"The Great Marriage Killer" Thank you kind Sir for showing us this video... I believe the "Greatest Marriage Killer" is: 1. The wife disobeying...Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; "and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee". (Between the " ", are the ones she often disobeys) Sad, but true. and... 2. The Husband disobeying...Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Thus, 99% of wives are NEVER going to let their Husbands "rule over them". Not to mention that most husbands RARELY loves her; as he loves Jesus. And worse; his love for Jesus is usually; ONLY AFTER sports, movies (particularly "Porn"), hunting, fishing, racing, poker and AD-infinitum. Sad but true. End of Story and I rest me case... ...In any case kind Sir and Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

Gerry, You got some pretty good advice in the comments above, but the main thing is change. Be angry about the important things that harm others, but don't seethe on it. Take righteous action and get back to life. John Wayne's Big Jake is a good example. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaOk0aWQodWrgKw.html&ab_channel=bigdavis161 He gets angry angry about injustice. He takes appropriate and timely action and then he rides on. He doesn't brood about it. Maureen O'hara's character broods and clutches anger to her chest for decades and it does ruin her life. Be the Duke and not Big Red. If you are still breathing, it is not too late. You can wake up in a new world every day if you let it happen. If things and people persist in making you angry, find someplace else to be. Don't dwell in the anger. Like Big Jake McCandles, walk away from a fortune if it brings you peace. You are nt dead yet, not hardly.

@ A.J. Williams There is no greater marriage killer than feminism and the post modern woman's horrendous feelings of entitlement and proud rebellion. No greater marriage killer ever but Piper the feminist in disguise won't say it of course...

Trust

Once again John Piper brilliantly manages NOT to answer the question asked. If you want to see what righteous anger really looks like watch the opening scene to the old John Wayne movie Big Jake. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaOk0aWQodWrgKw.html&ab_channel=bigdavis161 Blessed are the sheepdogs, for without them all the many wolves in this world would eat all the sheep instead of just some. I wouldn't care to live in a world without sheepdogs and rightous anger until all the wolves were truly gone. If Piper was not such a privileged and pampered man neither would he. And Anger is NOT the great marriage killer. Feminism is today. Anger is just a symptom.

Distrust?

I think anger should break evil and so should peace. Especially in places like California you shouldn't be angry with guns, as a christian, but should have peace against them in gun ownership. I think anger should go with government support, and not religious support, when it comes to guns in those places. Anger? Well it doesn't say that in Corinthians, and I think that tells us you should be angry if something like a homosexual hits on you is what just happened. I think that is a blessing to someone who is trying to curse you. Likewise you should be angry if someone is trying to teach your child to be a homosexual or do drugs and take on behaviors that are harmful. And I say this because they don't listen to you telling them peacefully not to do that and that it violates your faith.

If they let their wives rule , in order to avoid "conflict" , . They choose compromise over authority. God does not hear their prayer. The Lord gives a man a wife for sex.
