Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches us that anger is a normal human emotion, but it can become a problem when it is not managed properly. When anger lingers, it can lead to a breakdown in relationships, including our relationships with our business partners. In order to handle anger in a healthy way, we need to understand that anger is not always a bad thing. It can be a signal that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. However, when anger becomes a dominant emotion, it can lead to hurtful words and actions, which can damage relationships. As the Bible says, "A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the patient in spirit is one who calms the trouble" (Proverbs 15:18). Therefore, it is essential to manage our anger and not let it control us.

When we are angry with our business partner, we should first take a step back and assess the situation. Ask yourself if the anger is justified or if it is a result of a misunderstanding. It is also essential to communicate openly and honestly with your partner, expressing your feelings and concerns in a non-accusatory way. As the Bible says, "Speak the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15). We should not let anger cloud our judgment, but instead, we should seek to understand the situation and find a resolution that works for both parties. It is also important to remember that our business partner is a person, and they may have their own struggles and concerns. By showing empathy and understanding, we can often diffuse the situation and find a resolution.

In order to manage our anger and handle it in a healthy way, we need to seek God's help. As the Bible says, "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry" (Ephesians 4:26). We should take time to pray and ask God to temper our anger with patience and love. We should also seek to understand our business partner's perspective and find a resolution that works for both parties. By doing so, we can maintain healthy relationships and avoid the negative consequences of unmanaged anger. As the Bible says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud" (1 Corinthians 13:4). By following these principles, we can handle our anger in a healthy way and maintain positive relationships with our business partners.
