Day 2: Embrace the Messy Parts
Conflict is bound to happen when two individuals try to become one. Marriage doesn't create our worst sides; it just shines a spotlight on them. The beauty of a God-centered marriage is that it can help us recognize these flaws and give God a chance to work on them.
But simply engaging in conflict together isn’t what builds intimacy in a marriage. Your approach to this conflict is crucial in preserving and fortifying your relationship. Make sure to follow the advice we find in Ephesians 4:29: “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.”
How can you and your spouse welcome and work through the messy parts of your relationship?
