Every marriage faces it—the war of perspectives. Two people, two unique viewpoints, shaped by different backgrounds, experiences and values, trying to navigate life together.
Most times, conflicts arise when we focus on being right rather than being unified. But here’s the truth: marriage isn’t about WINNING arguments; it’s about BUILDING connection.
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 2:3-4:
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
What if we approached disagreements differently?
Right timing. Finding the time and the place to "ease" our partner into those controversial conversations that we must have.
Pause. Pray together for wisdom and unity before the conversation starts.
Listen. Seek to understand your spouse’s perspective before defending your own.
Unite. Look for common ground and build solutions that strengthen your partnership. The goal is to leave the conversation better, as a couple.
Marriage thrives when we choose humility over pride and connection over conflict. Let’s fight for each other, not against each other.
