Anger as a Demonstration of Who Rules over Our Hearts

"Think of the sturdiness of your allegiance to your own kingdom purposes.  Let me help you see what I mean.  Think about how little of your anger over the last month had anything whatsoever to do with the kingdom of God.  Your anger seldom comes out of a zeal for the plans, purposes, values, and calling of the kingdom of God.  When you are hurt, angry, or disappointed with your husband or wife, it is not because he or she has broken the laws of God's kingdom, and it really concerns you.  No, you are most often angry because your spouse has broken the laws of your kingdom.  Your spouse is in the way of what you want, and that makes you mad, and mobilizes you to do or say something that will rein your spouse back into service of your wants, needs, and feelings."  Paul David Trip in What Did you Expect?  Redeeming the Realities of Marriage
