‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭NLT‬‬ A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.

People automatically accept that arguments are a part of marriage. Who told you that? Where is that in the bible?

We usually don’t argue if we have a disagreement at work. We handle those disagreements with dignity. But when it comes to marriage, some of us can’t imagine marriage without arguing. They normalize yelling, cursing, or breaking things. This lets me know that arguing is a choice.

There will always be disagreements, but disagreements don’t have turn into arguments. Collectively, bring the disagreement to God in prayer. After praying, as we go throughout the day, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit regarding a solution. He may change your mind to agree with your spouse. He may change your spouse’s mind to agree with you. Or, He may provide an entire new solution that both of you can agree on.

The point is, we don’t have to argue. We are instructed not to quarrel and to be kind to everyone. This includes our spouses.
