WORD COUNT
"He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord."
Book Review
THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED.
How to Solve Disagreements without Arguing.
It is based on the concept of showing genuine respect for the other individual, giving them full freedom to think their own thoughts, have their own opinions, and have their own reasons for these opinions. It is expressing understanding and affirming that their ideas make sense. It takes away the adversarial atmosphere in resolving conflicts and creates an atmosphere of friendship.
After you have heard and affirmed each other as ideas, you are now ready to look for a solution to the conflict. The big word in finding a solution is "compromise".
Often we think that compromise is a negative word. Compromise in marriage is not only positive but it is necessary.
Compromise means to find a meeting place. It requires each of you willing to give up something in order to have harmony in the marriage. If, on the other hand, we both insist on having our way, then we are back in the argument mode.
IN MARRIAGE, IT IS NEVER "HAVING MY WAY". IT RATHER DISCOVERING "OUR" WAY.
To be continued tomorrow by God's grace.
