It is easy to live in harmony when your husband is treating you well. But what if he's not? How do you treat your husband when he is unloving and moody?
Have you and your husband ever been in the following cycle? He raises his voice; you raise yours. He becomes louder; you retaliate.
This is an endless cycle, but the dynamics of it can be broken quickly if you no longer react.
If your husband is short-tempered and impatient, try remaining silent in love. Stop participating in the vicious cycle of "he gets angry; I get angry." Choose not to react during heated times. Wait until your husband has cooled down or is more rested before discussing things.
Ask yourself, "Why is my husband moody and sharp with me?" Often the answer is that you are simply catching the overflow of what happened to him at work, or with some other problem. Is this fair? No, but life isn't always fair. Consider other possibilities as well: Is he stressed about something in particular? Is he fatigued due to extra hours he's putting in at work? Is he going through a difficult time with someone?
Don't be so sensitive that you let your feelings and emotions be set by another's treatment of you. Don't be judgmental or unfriendly. Don't allow you’re self to be too easily wounded, crushed, or hurt. Guard against bitterness and being quick to forgive.
Every time you act in a loving way toward your husband, it becomes more and more a part of your natural response. What you're doing is training your mind to think in a new way, and each successive attempt becomes easier.
