Star and I led FamilyLife’s “Art of Marriage” event at a local church this past weekend and had a blast. If you haven’t attended, you need to.
One of the most practical pieces of information shared was the tips on conflict below. Check it out…
| FOCUS ON | RATHER THAN | |
| One issue | Many Issues | |
| The Problem | The Person | |
| Behavior | Character | |
| Specifics | Generalizations | |
| Facts | Judgment of Motives | |
| “I” statements | “You” Statements | |
| Understanding | Who’s winning or losing |
Although following these guidelines won’t come close to fixing all your conflicts, they will help you move towards each other as you attempt to work through them.
