Top 5 Cancerous Marital Behaviors

Marital cancer behaviors are negative habits that can be highly destructive to relationships.

Top 5 Cancerous Marital Behaviors.

Have you ever wondered what subtle behaviors might be slowly damaging your marriage, much like an undetected cancer? Just as cancer can quietly spread and cause harm to our bodies, certain negative behaviors can infiltrate our marriages, causing gradual but serious damage. Luckily, the Bible teaches against these behaviors and guides us on the path to strong, Christ-centered relationships. ✝️🫶🏽

1. Constant Criticism

There is a way to effectively address your concerns with your partner’s behaviors, and constant criticism is NOT it. Constant criticism can erode your partner’s self-esteem and the intimacy in your relationship.

Ephesians 4:29, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up.”

2. Neglecting Quality Time

Busyness is a common challenge, but neglecting quality time together can lead to severe emotional distance. Prioritize your spouse.

Ecclesiastes 9:9, “Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun.”

3. Withholding Forgiveness

Holding onto grudges can poison your marriage. Suppressed hurt can lead to bitterness that can eventually erupt, potentially breaking the marriage.

Colossians 3:13, “Bear with each other and forgive one another… Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

4. Poor Communication

The best gift you can give to your spouse is the gift of effective communication, alongside a few other things 😉. Poor communication in relationships can lead to a number of issues, including blame, anxiety, depression, and resentment, and then some!

Proverbs 15:1, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”

5. Ignoring Intimacy

Remember when we mentioned “The best gift you can give to your spouse is the gift of effective communication, alongside a few other things”? Well, this is the “alongside.” 😂 Physical and emotional intimacy are crucial for a healthy marriage.

1 Corinthians 7:3, “The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.”

Let’s commit to nurturing our marriages by avoiding these cancerous behaviors. Just as we would treat a physical illness with urgency, let us address these issues with the same diligence.
