What tends to be your goal in a conflict with your spouse? Has anything in this lesson changed your perspective on conflict?
-
My goal normally is to end the discussion the soonest possible and yes I did see some things here that I want to try.
-
My goal tends to center around being heard and/or understood. Many times during any conflict, I feel that my spouse hears things I do not say or do not intend to say, or I feel railroaded and that my views/opinions don’t matter as much as theirs do.
-
I try very hard to understand the other person’s position, but I’m a person that doesn’t live in the past.
-
When a conflict occurs I desperately need to have the problem resolved without bitterness. I am unable to rest if it is not resolved.
Listening to the process is food for thought. -
Trying to get to the root cause of the issue quickly. Unpacking the argument and looking at the other person’s perspective. Seeing the argument from a biblical lens and not from fleshly eyes. Knowing that there is a right was to argue in a healthy way where the devil won’t win. Making sure we both are forgiving and honest and humble with one another.
