\u201cI often get angry with my spouse. What can I do to control my anger?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hit a drum, it immediately produces a sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the sound from that drum, your anger rises automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anger is difficult to control because it comes from your subconscious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you can become aware of the moment your anger rises,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I am getting angry,\u201d your anger may subside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you miss that moment, you can still make things better by immediately apologizing to your spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hit a drum, it immediately produces a sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the sound from that drum, your anger rises automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anger is difficult to control because it comes from your subconscious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you can become aware of the moment your anger rises,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I am getting angry,\u201d your anger may subside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you miss that moment, you can still make things better by immediately apologizing to your spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
