E374 – Fight Like Jesus (Part 2): Handling Conflict in Marriage and Other Relationships

In Part 2 of “Fight Like Jesus”, we continue our thought on how to fight FOR your spouse – not just FIGHT your spouse. When conflict comes, many couples know how to fight each other, but they have never learned how to fight for each other. Before we can handle harsh words, wounded feelings, frustration, and unmet expectations, we must first learn from the greatest example of all: Jesus Christ.

In this episode, we look at Jesus’ first two lessons on dealing with conflict: Turning the Cheek & Not Saying Everything. For a couple to succeed in the area of conflict, they must learn to stop the cycle of harsh words and fleshly responses. Learning to control and filter our words and mind is the first step to “fighting well”.
