Thank you for the great feedback this week in group. Dealing with conflict in marriage can be a difficult and tricky thing at times. However, it is something that can grow our marriages when it is done right. Let me encourage you to continue practicing the communication skills we learned last week as well as picking a day each week to love on your spouse through their love language. The post below can help you come up with some new ideas. Here are a few highlights from this past Sunday:
- Remember to keep your list of things you appreciate as well as those things that you wish to change or grow
- Bring this list to your meeting - Remember to shoot for two a week and plan them in advance
Here are the steps you want to work through in your meeting:
- Set a time and place for discussion (Not your bedroom)
- Define the problem or issue of disagreement
- How do you each contribute to the problem?
- List past attempts to resolve the issue that were not successful.
- Brainstorm...List all possible solutions
- Discuss and evaluate these possible solutions
- Agree on one solution to TRY
- Agree on how each individual will work toward this solution
- Set up another meeting. Discuss your progress.
- Reward each other as you each contribute toward the solution. (Love Languages are a great way to reward each other!)
We look forward to seeing you Sunday as Carol and Sharon Blackledge teach us what to do when the unexpected happens. Reminder - Be sure to sign up for Sal & Mookie's if you are planning on coming Friday night. We hope to see you there!
