Ted and Ashleigh SlaterWhy We Go to Bed Mad
June 25, 2024 ● 22 minShare this episode
Within the Christian community, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger” is often quoted as a hard-and-fast rule for married couples to follow whenever they experience conflict. But sometimes Ted and I do go to bed mad—and surprisingly, it’s been good for our marriage. In today’s episode, we’ll tell you why.
3 Reasons We Go to Bed Mad
- We don’t want to sweep any issues under the rug.
- We need a break before addressing conflict.
- We want genuine apologies and real reconciliation.
Us Time Challenge
Think of another hard-and-fast rule couples are often told. Do you practice it in your marriage? How has it been helpful? If not, what do you do instead and why?

Today's Devotional
A Prayer to Be Less Sad Today - Your Daily Prayer - September 7
The greatest cure and medicine for sadness and all the feelings it may lead to is the Word of God. The Word of God seeps into dry and lonely places and fills them. The more you drink from the Word of God and even digest it, the more your soul is saturated, and the more your sadness leaves you.
