Dealing with Disagreement

How Do You Handle Disagreements in Marriage?

Every married couple disagrees. The question is: What happens next?

A small disagreement can quickly become something much bigger when offense, anger, past hurts, or the need to be right enter the conversation.

In the latest episode of The Marriage Show, Butch and Julieann Hartman talk about navigating disagreements without allowing them to damage your relationship.

They share lessons they've learned in their own marriage about communication, forgiveness, listening to your spouse, and knowing when it's time to stop reacting and give yourself a chance to cool down.

As Proverbs 15:1 says, “A soft answer turns away wrath.” Sometimes changing the direction of an argument starts with one person choosing to respond differently.

And what about those disagreements that seem to touch a much deeper nerve? Butch and Julieann also explore how past experiences can influence the way we react to our spouse—and why renewing our minds through Christ is an ongoing process.

You may not be able to change your spouse's heart, but you can allow God to work on yours.
