My friend just got married and both of them are attending a religious group, that made me think will solve their problem regarding anger management, but everyday of seeing them makes me feel hopeless coz the girl can't control her anger that even a joke could result to fying knife and glass at home.

Being involved in a religious CAN change a person... sometimes for better, sometimes into total monsters.
- If the person is inducted into a group through manupilative means it can change them to be cynical, more angry and suspicious due to the feeling of being cheated. If the community, is controlling and restricting, the person MAY even be brainwashed and when they arent... they will feel trapped like a caged animal and exhibit emotional distress and aggression, and the moment they break free... they will react like Lion on rampage.
-If the person's heart is opened and need spiritual nurturing, being in a religious group can help them overcome underlying emotional and mental fears, resurrect a broken spirit and heal damage confidence. A good religious group with a strong nurturing and supportive community can do wonders to get a broken down person back on their feet and more.
Look carefully to see if your friend is a willing participant in these sessions... if they are FORCED and enter with a closed heart and muted mind, there will be no benefit... it is like when we are punished as kids...externally we say we are sorry but internally if we really DO NOT feel sorry, 1001 rebellious critical thoughts are formulating in our then tiny little heads hehe.
Looks like the couple are not serving each other vut are probably expecting to BE served and their spouses to live up to their own expectations and THAT opens up a whole can of not worms... but maggots that eventually turn into flies. Thats because each person's idea of perfection is different. My heartfelt wishes for your two friends... hope they can overcome this hindrance soon.

Studies have shown that an individual involved in a community of some sort usually is better off mentally and physically. I see it a s a great sharing of energy/chi amongst the people in the community, but of course there are many communities that are not so 'pleasant' regardless of the social status. So it really depends on weather the individual is getting along with everyone, and vis versa. it could be that the person is just mental and married life if driving her crazy.

It can if the group stands grounded in good sound christian doctrine, and the people attending use their information correctly.
She needs to read her bible and pray at home also.
What has made her so angry? Is it because she has always gotten by with it? Is she really mad or just looking for attention or the means to get her way?
Pray for them both, and remember fasting while praying brings about great results.

Holy spirit would be a necessary part of making such a change. Maybe the religious group is not truly grounded in the Bible. Or maybe your friends are simply not taking it to heart. Pray for them. I hope you are wrong about the outcome.

Yes for a far exyent it would .. but .. the change never never comes from outside .. it's got to start from the inside of the person ..
I do appreciate your keen feelings about your friends .. but they must understand that anger will never bring peace or better results .. they should fight it .. and look for self relief and peace ..

Such involvement can change a person. It depends on the person and the circumstances.

It all depends on how they follow their beliefs.
If they follow one path, their belief won't let them see.
If they follow another, their belief will show them the way.
Same belief, different path.
What you want your friend to change into is your path. If your path, is their path, they will change if they accept the belief. Their belief will make them doubt themselves. They will control their actions.
