Day 22 of the 28-Day Marriage Challenge

Day 22: With Not Against

Every couple fights. If a relationship is void of any tension, they are living in denial and likely living at a distance from one another. Marriage is supposed to include frustrations, disagreement, and tension. In Friends, Partners, and Lovers, I write, "Healthy couples fight against issues; unhealthy couples fight against each other." (pg. 128) It's a very subtle difference, but it changes everything. Wise couples lock arms and attack issues. Foolish couples allow issues to cause them to fight against each other. The former find resolution; the latter discover resentment. To outsiders, both couples might look the same. But internally there is an obvious difference. Disagreements should be about problems, not people.   Application: Identify an issue creating tension between you and your spouse. What would it look like if you fought alongside each other rather than against each other? For more, see:6 Common Mistakes When Fighting4 Words No Man Wants to Hear
