We’ve learned that sometimes a lack of conflict in a marriage means you are not fighting for it. There are times you must battle to become one.

We do not fight to tear down but to build up.

In resolving a dispute, there will be need for some compromise

Research indicates that mismanaged conflict and negative interaction in marriage predict both marital distress and negative effects on children. Some studies suggest the way couples communicate, handle conflict and preserve a sense of being a team are the keys to marital success.

The worst problems for children stem from parental conflict, before, during, and after divorce or within marriage.

Sometimes the simplest solution out of conflict is becoming someone’s friend, instead of saying goodbye forever.
