How does the devil attack marriage and relationships?

One of the enemy’s favorite tactics is to distort communication — making you hear something that wasn’t said, twisting motives, and pushing you into conflict.

Example: Your spouse says, “When are you getting up?” — but you hear it as, “You lazy pig!”

That’s how spiritual warfare often plays out:

The enemy distorts words and reality.

He presses you down with negative emotions.

He tempts you to lash out or withdraw instead of love.

But there’s hope: when you slow down, pray, and choose not to believe the lies, you break the cycle.
