Ephesians 4:26
It’s a short list today.
Keep short accounts. Deal with today’s conflict instead of hiding it in the closet waiting for just the “right” moment.
Deal with the issue at hand. Don’t throw in any red herrings. That stuff that has nothing to do with what’s on the table.
Confess and repent of your part.
Forgive your spouse’s part.
Let your spouse have the last word. The quickest way to stop an argument is for someone to stop.
This is not all inclusive. Nor are they the absolute rule – everyone’s situation is a bit different. Sometimes the issue is important enough you have to keep after it to resolve it.
What have you found to be helpful in resolving conflict in your marriage?
