Day 3: Resolve Conflicts Quickly

The third communication tip is to resolve conflicts quickly. It comes from Ephesians 4:26, which says, "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."

Think about a time you and your partner had an argument. It's normal to feel upset or angry, but holding onto that anger can hurt your relationship. The Bible tells us to deal with our anger before the day ends. This means we should try to solve our disagreements quickly and not let them linger.

Have you ever gone to bed angry? It probably made you feel bad and kept you from sleeping well. When we hold onto anger, it can turn into bitterness and hurt our relationship. Instead, try to talk things out with your partner before the day is over. This shows that you care about resolving the issue and want to keep the peace between you.

Sometimes, it's hard to let go of anger, especially if you feel hurt. But remember, holding onto anger only makes things worse. By addressing conflicts quickly, you prevent resentment from building up and keep your relationship healthy.

Here’s a challenge for you: The next time you have a conflict with your partner, try to talk about it before you go to bed. Listen to each other and find a way to resolve the issue. It may require patience, understanding, and forgiveness. But even if it’s difficult, practicing this can make your relationship stronger and more peaceful.

God wants us to forgive and resolve our conflicts quickly. By doing this, we show love and respect for each other. When you make an effort to handle disagreements before the day ends, you set yourself up for a healthier relationship.
