If you’re wise you’ll avoid these:
1.Comparing.
•”You’re just like …”,
•”Why can’t you be like …”,
•”When I was your age…”
• You’re asking for a fight.
•”My first husband…”
2 Corinthians 10:12 says it’s unwise to compare.
2. Condemning.
“It’s all your fault”, “You should be ashamed.”
You lay on the guilt. “You always”,
“You never”, “You ought to”, “You should…”, ”
You shouldn’t…”
3. Contradicting.
How do you like to be interrupted in the middle of a sentence? It’s irritating. James says, “If you are wise you don’t sweat the small stuff.”
Some things are just not worth the fight. Wisdom is peace loving.
If I’m smart, if I’m wise in relationships, I won’t compromise my integrity and I won’t antagonize your anger. Proverbs 14:29
