Earlier, I introduced you to Bill and Julie, a couple in conflict. Here's what happened earlier:
One night Julie and Bill were on the way home from work and a brief stop at the supermarket. She drove and he checked emails and websites on his phone during the ten minute ride.

Blog postKnow and Anticipate Your Own Weaknesses
Make a record of the situations and words that lead into conflict. Learn what your weaknesses are, and pray preemptively. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Ephesians 4:21-24 (NIV)
Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your th -
Blog postConflicts would be a lot easier to deal with if we stopped expecting perfection from ourselves and others. This does not mean that we are giving in to sinful attitudes and low expectations. It means that we are acting realistically and thinking maturely.
Make room for imperfections: expect to be hurt, and expect to hurt others. If we stop expecting perfection, we will be a lot less surprised when someone yells at us, criticizes us, or treats us unfairly. We should expect to see -
Blog postProverbs 15:1 (NIV)
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2. Never respond to the flesh with the flesh. Respond kindly, but not in kind. Remember that you are responsible for your own behavior. No one can “make you angry.” You have power over your emotions. Practice self-control. Don’t fight fire with fire.
How can you apply this truth to your marriage? -

Learn to recognize the flesh within yourself and within your family. The flesh is the sinful nature within you: it is any thought or emotion or word that is not under the control of God’s Holy Spirit and in accordance with God’s word. You must recognize when you or your spouse is reasoning, speaking, or acting from the flesh. When you recognize the flesh’s activity, then you can refuse to indulge its desires or r -
Blog postHere are some suggestions for beginning a positive conversation about the past: “I need to tell you what I have been feeling.” “I need for you to understand my pain, but I love you, and I am not doing this to hurt you.” “I know we can’t change the past, but I believe that we can learn valuable lessons that will help us to use those broken pieces as building blocks for a better future.”
As you share and listen, focus on putting your faith in forgiveness and the laws of love. It takes faith -
Blog postRecently, I encouraged you to discuss the past so that you can move on to a brighter future. Now let me be clear: This does not mean that you have to go over every painful mistake in the past. It would be unwise and destructive to spend your present living in the past. Your goal is to do and say what needs to be done and said in order to remove the major obstacles that are keeping you from moving forward in your marriage. You are going back —for a very brief period—in order to go forward. I
