Anger Divides
Article By M. Harris:: EEW Magazine Marriage
It all started with a tweet and ended with this article. A woman who follows my sister online—I’m not on Twitter—got upset with her husband and fired off 5 angry messages.
I won’t give away the woman’s Twitter handle since she scrubbed her timeline clean of the ill-conceived digital rant, presumably from regret. But I will at least share the gist of the digital outburst.
Her husband had been spotted with another woman. The wife heard about it and angrily outed him online.
It wasn’t pretty.
Though the whole blowup could have stemmed from a misunderstanding, or an issue that the couple decided to resolve and move past, the public airing of the situation can never be reversed. And those who read the drama-filled tweets before they were deleted will always remember them.
As a consequence, that couple’s reputation will forever be marred by the wife’s rash decision to openly air what should have been addressed privately. Even worse, since the couple is in ministry together, their Christian witness is severely compromised.
