9. Not every victim story is a lie. Some villains need to be exposed for freedom’s and virtue’s sake. However, it is disingenuous and mean-spirited to rally people online against your spouse (subtly or overtly). The strategy reeks of bitterness. You can never get healing by making other people miserable.
10. I am of the belief system that airing your partner’s dirty linen in public says more about you than it does about the other person.
11. For social media onlookers, here is a tip from 1 Thessalonians 4:11: “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and to mind your own business.”
While we may have no control over what people post about their spouses online, we have control over our own responses. Let them be seasoned responses, especially as members of the Body of Christ. Saying nothing is often better than chipping in, liking and commenting. If all fails you, heed to wisdom’s call. Proverbs 18:17 “Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight.” (TLB)
