Marital conflict
Identify unhealthy conflict and learn new tools for being on the same team
When two people come together in marriage, sharing not only their deepest thoughts and feelings but also their daily ups and downs, conflict becomes inevitable. Sadly many of us have never seen what healthy conflict looks like. Most of us simply follow our learned patterns and behaviours, which can too often lead to resentment, bitterness, unspoken hurt and, sometimes, deep division.
We want to help you and your spouse not only identify unhealthy conflict patterns, but also learn healthy strategies so you can experience the deep intimacy that comes with being on the same team.
The following resources will help you navigate marital conflict well, and also provide insight into specific challenges that you may be facing.
If you are feeling particularly stuck when it comes to conflict in your marriage, we encourage you to call our team at 1.800.661.9800. You can receive prayer, arrange to speak with a counsellor.
