How to Avoid the Blame Game in Marriage

Taking responsibility for one’s own sin should happen often, especially in marriage.  But sadly, pride gets in our way and then the next thing you know, we are blaming our spouse for our own sin.  This is what one wife is dealing with in her marriage.  Here’s her story…

Dear Jolene,

What if a husband blames others, even me, his wife, instead of taking ownership of his own actions?  How does a wife deal with this?

~Pam

How to Avoid the Blame Game in Marriage

Scripture References:

Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.  Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD. Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them.  If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.  In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.  Romans 12:17-20

 Got a question for me? Here are the guidelines…

  1. Keep your message short and sweet because you only have 90 seconds to record your question.
  2. Please leave your name and where you’re from.  If you’d like to remain anonymous, you can say you’re Sue from Oregon even though you’re really Jane from California!  Yeah, I’m sly like that.  I’ve got you covered, sister!
  3. If applicable, please let me know if your husband is a believer or not.
  4. Only ask one question per recording.  If you have another question, please record another message.
  5. Rude, offensive, and snarky questions will not be addressed.  They will be deleted, thank you very much!
  6. Please keep in mind that your recorded message will most likely be used on my podcast, therefore, you are agreeing to my terms of use.
