Have you ever watched a romance movie? They typically end “happily ever after,” right? Except we never actually see what happens after the movie ends. Which means that many of us have a perspective of love and marriage as blissful and conflict-free. If two people love each other, why would they argue??
Today, Dani is sharing how she used to believe that a healthy marriage should have no conflict, and what she has learned about healthy conflict since then.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
- Why conflict in marriage is absolutely inevitable, and how to engage in healthy conflict that leads to intimacy, rather than allowing it to escalate into contention.
- How unrealistic expectations are usually the source of bitterness, resentment and blowup fights, and how to see your spouse the way God sees you.
- The reason you and your spouse may not see eye-to-eye on certain things, and why you should celebrate your differences!
