Love Does Not Act Unbecomingly
What I’ve Learned in Marriage-18—1 Corinthians 13: 5 (love) does not act unbecomingly NASB. Amplified Bible
includes “conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride);… rude (unmannerly).”
Unfortunately, I have seen many spouses act that way. According to Webster,
unbecomingly means: unattractively, not suitably, improperly. The
So what exactly does that look like?

Be The Mature One
What I’ve Learned in Marriage—17 - One quality required in
using your power to benefit your marriage is maturity, and that plays in
several ways. First let me say that by being mature I do not mean being the
boss, or bossy. Biblical maturity is achieved by spiritual growth and displayed
in discernment, discipline and self sacrifice, holding to true teaching and not
being swayed by smooth words or emotions.

Do You Take God's Name in Vain?
Exodus 20:7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for
the Lord will not leave him unpunished
who takes His name in vain.
I had grown up hearing the second commandment repeatedly. I
always thought that it meant to not use the name of God as a swear word. But I
have learned that it involves far more than that. It includes every action we
make and word we speak that is not Christ-like.

Use Your Power To Benefit Your Marriage
What I've Learned in Marriage 16-We all have times when we feel
powerless, especially in marriage, but we all have the power of influence. And
whether we intentionally exercise that power or not, it still has an effect on
our marriage. We need to be aware of that power and use it to benefit our
marriage rather than passively allowing it to undermine it. How do we do that?
It is different for every person and every marriage, but there are some basics
that are fairly universal.
