How to Fight Fair: Resolving Conflict in Marriage

Every couple has disagreements, but the way you handle disagreements can make or break your marriage. As part of this week’s marriage challenge at Girlfriends after hours, this week I’m sharing 7 tips for ways to “Fight Fair” and resolve conflict in a loving way that will draw you closer to your husband and help you both grow in relationship together.

Some of the ideas we discuss include the importance of communication, setting boundaries, and the need for both partners to listen and understand each other. We also talk about the bad habits if assuming the worst about others, exaggeration, and then we emphasize the power of prayer in resolving conflicts.

Takeaways

* Conflict is a natural part of marriage.

* Setting boundaries can help manage arguments.

* Listening is more important than arguing.

* Assuming the best about your partner fosters understanding.

* Avoid exaggeration in conflicts to maintain clarity.

* Apologizing sincerely can heal relationships.

* Prayer can be a powerful tool in resolving conflicts.

* Communication should happen outside of heated moments.

* It's important to forget about winning arguments.

* Healthy relationships require ongoing effort and self-reflection.
