Episode 11 – Resolving Conflict in Marriage
In this episode, my guest Tracy Dwyer and I talk about how we can resolve conflict in our marriages. Marriage is difficult and we can either help our marriage become better or spiral out of control. Here are a few takeaways from this episode.
*Conflict isn’t always bad. It can lead us to better our communication.
*There’s always hope for every marriage.
*Ultimately our needs are fulfilled in Christ, not our spouse, but there are ways we can share our needs with our spouse that can be beneficial to our marriage.
*When conflict arises over and over about the topic, stop and evaluate where the conversation breaks down. Then make the changes needed to stop that breakdown.
*There is a way to express hurt well.
*We talk about what you can do if your spouse isn’t interested in building and investing in your marriage.
Key Verse Ephesians 5:31-33 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
