Provocation.

Sanctified humor?
How about Proverbs 21:19
According to the writer of Proverbs ,
he would prefer the discomfort
,distance,and loneliness of a desert
To being cooped up with an angry   quarrelsome women.   (Reference a Bible commentary.) For months now, I have lived  in peace. I'm now one more step towards being free. I cannot speak for all relationships, but for many I can. Just remember what the Bible teaches. Because it matters.
Be not unequally yoked. Now the lesson here is, unequally yoked and not being compatible are kin, but not the same. One is supernatural,and the other is a flimsy weak, worldly
Excuse to get unmarried. Now I've
Done it before, so I should know.
As an active, disciple of Christ I long in my heart, for the spiritual relationship with the opposite sex.
But unfortunately the unequally yoked ones prefer to view marriage thru the eyes of a lost out of control world. That's  a total shame. Now...men and women are both the same as far as this goes.
Godly mates will be commited to you.
While worldly mates on a whim, will
throw up their hands and quit without notice and just walk out.
Now, beware of the ten commandment that the world seems to hate the most. Its,thou shalt not bare false witness. What is that?
It's being willing to tell lies on someone in order to have a good excuse to walk out.
Ya know, look at Proverbs 22: 1
A good name means a good reputation. The Bible says it's better than great riches. Worldly people,
Know this, so often times they attack
Christian's for the sole purpose of destroying his or her reputation.
But usually for every false witness
God has many more good references
Of your good character. So the blessings I have, will be total freedom, of a quarrelsome relationship. No matter how hard I prayed, how hard I tried to please,
how hard I promised to be forever committed, the unequally yoked
Won the war.  Today I was given great advice from a person of authority. Don't lettem ruffle your feathers, and stay on your knees to God. Do not be provoked. Amen.
