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?

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
