Hurting True Love

When I get in a verbal disagreement with my wife, I tend to be verbally vicious (as well as my wife with me). I’m a lot like a rabid dog. I’m either going to emotionally maul Bobbi with my sarcastic remarks, or take her out emotionally by allowing her to bleed to death with fiery language. The carnage isn’t pretty. 
Those closest to you (family or friends) know your vulnerable side. In a disagreement, they know which buttons to push that will turn you into a screaming lunatic as the family pet slinks away in utter fear.
Why do we verbally hurt those that mean the most to us? I believe our loved ones know our insecurities, and still cherish us. Many of them hold our secrets in their hearts. They could emotionally devastate us if they ever opened up, and started talking to everyone we know. We trust they would never do this.

My wife, Bobbi, have been through a lot of horrendous stuff in our marriage. Though I don’t always treat her as my “bestest” friend that’s exactly what she is. I would be extremely lost without her in my life. Will you vow with me to start treating those who mean the most to you like precious jewels they are in your life. Wouldn’t this make for a happier life because who really enjoys hurting the ones they love?
