Summary

All of us have expectations, and when those expectations are not met, we get angry. The sneaky thing about anger is that most people, when you ask them if they’re an angry person, would say no! Anger doesn’t always look like yelling, fits of rage, public. Let’s take an honest look at our anger and go to Scripture for our help.

0:00.0	Hey guys this is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This
0:04.5	podcast. Today's scripture is Galatians 2 verses and 20.
0:17.4	For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no
0:26.8	longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith
0:32.2	in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
0:35.2	And now let's hear from Jenny. The greatest thing that ever happened in my marriage is that we learned to laugh.
0:52.6	And now things that used to make us in a fight for a month.
0:56.7	We literally look at each other and like start laughing at each other
1:00.7	instead of, it's 22 years, y'all. Okay so my husband are with our small

1:11.4	permission like there are the public stories that you say and like you
1:14.8	tell everybody you don't like throw somebody under the bus in front of
1:18.8	everybody else without permission you know and so I am sitting there and we were with them for a long time at that

Like that is biblical and I try to live that way where it doesn't, you know, not every little thing ticks me off. But this just
1:54.7	couldn't, it was so under my skin and I felt betrayed and I felt unsafe and that
1:58.8	was the lie that was growing, you know, it was just he can do that and move on and I'm kind of under the bus and he
2:04.1	doesn't even care you know and so this bigger narrative of now I've moved from
2:08.8	mad to distraught to you know now I'm questioning our marriage and like if I'm safe in it like it moved
2:16.9	from like completely something small to this huge marital issue and distrust and I think that's why we start with anger like that's
