Why Arguments Don’t Win Hearts

Proverbs 17:14 says, “Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.” Arguments may give the illusion of power, but they rarely win hearts. As a lady of godly value, you must learn that constant arguing only drains intimacy and fuels resentment. Even when you feel justified, endless quarrels rarely bring the peace you desire.

Arguments often focus on who is right instead of what is right. They turn partners into opponents rather than allies. The goal of love isn’t to prove superiority but to preserve unity. Winning an argument but losing the heart of your partner is not victory at all—it’s loss disguised as triumph. When you shift from arguments to meaningful conversations, you move from battlefields to bridges.

The wisdom of Proverbs encourages us to drop matters before they escalate. This doesn’t mean you avoid necessary discussions—it means you approach them with humility, not hostility. Arguments divide, but grace unites. Instead of clashing over who wins, you focus on understanding, reconciliation, and growth together. That is the true victory.

As a lady of godly value, your strength lies not in how loudly you argue, but in how gracefully you influence. Grace wins more than sharp words ever could. Hearts respond to love far quicker than they do to pride.

Self-assessment:

1. Do I value being right more than preserving peace?


2. How often do I let minor issues escalate into unnecessary arguments?


3. Do I use my influence to win hearts or to win battles?

Negative Effect of Testing a Man or Playing with his Intelligence or Heart during Dating

Testing a man or playing with his intelligence or heart during dating can have serious consequences that may carry over into a future marriage, leading to a host of negative outcomes. When you engage in such behavior, it can create a foundation of distrust, emotional pain, and misunderstanding that can be difficult to overcome. Imagine you’re in a relationship where you’re constantly testing your partner's intentions, questioning his sincerity, and trying to gauge how much he truly cares for you. While this might seem like a way to protect yourself or to ensure that his feelings are genuine, it can actually undermine the very relationship you’re trying to build. Proverbs 14:1 says, "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." By testing a man’s heart, you might unintentionally be tearing down the trust and connection that are essential for a healthy relationship. When you test a man's intelligence or play with his emotions...

Message for Godly Women

In a world that often emphasizes marriage as the ultimate goal for women, it's essential to remember our inherent worth and the unique purpose that God has designed for each of us. While marriage is undoubtedly a beautiful aspect of life, it is not the sole measure of our value or fulfillment. As Godly women, we are called to recognize and embrace the original purpose and assignment that God has placed upon our lives. Marriage may be a phase, but it is not the entirety of our existence. Our identity and significance are rooted in our relationship with our Creator, not in our marital status. Too often, societal pressures and cultural expectations lead us to prioritize finding a spouse above all else. We may even find ourselves building our entire future around the idea of marriage, neglecting the unique gifts, talents, and passions that God has entrusted to us. But let us remember that God has created each of us with a divine purpose, one that extends far beyond the confines of marr...
