What I learned on the sandlot from the “Barnes Boys”
- Conflict is normal, it's an opportunity for growth, it must be diffused or it will destroy, and it demands rules so no one gets hurt
God’s perspective on conflict:
- Conflict is inevitable in a fallen world. -Jn. 16:33
- Conflict flows from our differences and our selfishness. -Jms. 4:1-3
- Conflict is an opportunity for growth. -Phil. 2:1-4
The most common communication styles:
- Turtles: The goal is to avoid.
- Sharks: The goal is to win.
How to diffuse conflict in your marriage:
- D: DEFINE the problem (on your own). -Pr. 15:14
- I: INITIATE a time to talk. -Matt. 5:23-24
- F: FOCUS on the “perceived” problem, not the person. -Pr. 18:19
- F: FEEL their pain. -Pr. 17:17
- U: UNCOVER the root problem. -Pr. 20:5
- S: SET things right between you. -Jms. 5:16
- E: ESTABLISH a specific action plan that addresses the issue discussed. -Jms. 1:22-25
