What is the single biggest source of conflict in your marriage right now? Join Chip as he teaches you how to fight fair in marriage.

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
