All couples fight, healthy couples fight fair unhealthy couples fight to win

The biggest cause of conflicts is our differences,
               
                   Gender
                   Personality
                   Background
                   Values

Start to value and respect the differences that your spouse has

Philipians 2:4 "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others."

How to fight fair?

• Separate to cool off

         1 Peter 5:6-7

         Proverbs 29:11 "A fool gives full vent to his anger but a wise person keeps himself under                                               control."

• Decide that the issue isn't worth the fight

         Proverbs 19:11 "A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense."

         Matthew 7:3, Proverbs 17:14

• Change your expectations

          Ephesians 2:10

• Move toward your spouse with tenderness

         Philipians 2:5-8, Matthew 20:28
