As a general rule, boys are more difficult to rear than girls. They are tougher to parent. They are tougher to teach. They are tougher to relate with. They are tougher to mentor and coach.

Conflicts give us an opportunity to demonstrate our love, respect, and admiration for each other.

When we accept conflicts as a normal part of marital team dynamics, we will create time to listen to each other. We will learn how to listen effectively so that we understand our spouse’s thoughts, desires, and feelings. And together, we will find solutions that allow us to work together as a team, supporting each other rather than allowing our differences to divide us.

unresolved conflicts accompanied by arguing destroy marriages. Conflicts that are resolved by listening to each other, respecting each other, and negotiating solutions will strengthen our marriages.
