Anger is the result of not accepting a current situation — resisting or fighting to change it. When you learn to accept — yourself, your partner, your circumstances — anger loses its power over you. Inner peace replaces inner turmoil. Your relationship can begin to heal. After more than twenty-five years of counseling thousands of individuals and families, I have discovered that anger is the single greatest cause of relationship failure. I believe most divorces could have been prevented had couples understood how destructive anger is and that when anger is eliminated, love can grow and mature. Learning to control anger is the most important thing you can do to improve the likelihood of success in many areas of your life. You want love? Get rid of anger. It is that simple and straightforward.
