No Marriage is Free of Conflict
When you first got together, everything seemed rosy. You fell in love together, you felt connected, and you were excited to spend time together. Everything seemed easy and you agreed on many things. The relationship flowed.
But something has changed – now you argue, disagree, and bicker on a regular basis. Often it’s the same issue over and over again. You disagree on a major issue and arguments end in a stalemate at best… or slamming doors and the silent treatment at worst. Maybe you never thought that you would fight like this with anyone – especially not your partner. But right now you’re battling each other fiercely and it’s ruining your relationship.
No marriage is completely free of conflict. Arguments, disagreements, and other types of conflicts are natural – and they are even healthy. If you expected to have a marriage free from fights, I’m sure you had a rude awakening.
While conflicts in marriage are expected, the good news is that you can have healthy disagreements and make your marriage even stronger. Once you develop the skill of conflict resolution within your marriage, you can preserve and protect your marriage and argue in a healthy way.
