5 Things NOT to do When You Are Angry

Send us Fan Mail

Divorce can leave a man carrying anger over betrayal, rejection, financial strain, or the loss of the family life he expected. You may have real grievances that deserve attention. And what you do in your next angry moment matters.

Today, we’ll explore five things to avoid: sending the heated message, making a major decision just to relieve the feeling, asking your children or other people to carry your anger, feeding thoughts of revenge, and burying your pain through denial, isolation, or numbing.

For each one, we’ll talk about a practical alternative—something you can use when your thoughts are racing and you feel the pressure to act.

We’ll also look at how Christian faith helps us face anger honestly. Ephesians 4:26 says, “In your anger do not sin.” That instruction recognizes the feeling while calling us to take responsibility for our behavior. We can bring our hurt to God, seek wise support, speak truthfully, and set boundaries with care.

Whether your anger comes out loudly or stays hidden beneath silence and withdrawal, this episode offers a place to examine what’s happening and choose a better next step.
