Sarcasm it simply a subtle way to vent our frustrations and our anger. Though it is probably okay to use sarcasm toward politicians, it is off limits in a family scenario.
We have a rule in our house that has helped us to stay on track over the years: if someone in our home is not having fun, then nobody should be having fun.
Keep in mind that a home is to be a safe atmosphere where all involved should be able to come out of their tough exterior and feel safe to express themselves in a godly manner.
Unfortunately, in many homes, a sarcastic husband or wife causes many of the family members to be in a state of emotional survival rather than safety. Honestly, no matter how Christian these homes purport to be, it is utter ungodliness (I John 4:8).
Sarcasm may be a normal part of your conversation in the home, but that does not necessarily mean that it is beneficial. From experience, I have seen that a sarcastic husband or wife will end up deploring the results of their sarcasm without realizing that they are the cause of the issues at hand.
