He’s angry all the time…help!

Do you wonder why your husband seems angry all the time?  The littlest thing (usually you or the kids) set him off so easily?  Chances are, there are some hidden, underlying emotions underneath.  He may not even be aware of them.  Could be fear of failing, never feeling good enough, lonely, longing to physically connect with you.  But what can you do about it?  The first step is being aware that there may be more than meets the eye.  Rather than constantly blaming and telling him to get help for his anger, I strongly encourage couples to seek help together.  The exception to this is if he is physically abusive…he definitely needs individual help for this.  But, try to encourage him to talk to  a counselor with you, and if he’s not open to that, you can start the process first.  Tell him the relationship is too important to you to not address this issue.
