Biblical Tips On Relationships:
They May Really Be Right
Be Agreeable
Be agreeable. That means do not whine, criticize, find fault, get even, judge, or complain. Do not be like “constant dripping” on a rainy day. Give those closest to you no reason to have to “restrain” you. Proverbs 27:15-16 is a warning from a father to his son. The same scripture can apply to a quarrelsome husband, friend, or employee.
State Your Point Once
When you feel the need to argue, state your point once and close your mouth.
Memorize the Words, “You May Be Right.”
If someone tries to argue with your point, remember – he or she may actually be right. Even if you know they are wrong, quarreling is like “grasping oil with the hand.” Try an experiment. For the next two weeks, every time you feel like arguing, say the words, “You may be right.” You will be amazed at the results.
Proverbs 27:15-16 A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
