The “No Yelling” Marriage

Shay and I have a strict no yelling policy in our marriage. We have had it from day one, and it wasn't actually something we officially signed, it just is something that happened kind of organically. Over time, we've realized that this is a bit rare and we've seen the benefits of it. When we've counseled couples, we've zeroed in on this issue of yelling in their marriage. Today, we are going be talking about why we believe you should create a no yelling policy and how to make one. We will give you some hope, and a picture of what a yelling free marriage and home could look like and how it could benefit you.

Man, so much good stuff here!! Two thoughts from our marriage:
1. We always use the idea of “giving someone else the gift of going second” - first heard that phrase from Jon Acuff and it changed my life!
2. With the whole not fighting back thing, i will always just calmly keep asking the question (especially to our kids) “why are you yelling at me? I’m not yelling at you, so why are you yelling at me?” Takes a couple of repeats but it never fails to tire them out and calm them down
