SESSION FOUR
Conflict + Resolution
While there’s conflict in every marriage, all conflict isn’t created equal. In fact, the conflict you experience will be customized to your personalities, your pasts, and your chemistry as a couple. It’s important to know this because understanding what drives your conflict is essential to dealing with it in a healthy way.
If you are not intentional about managing it well, it can damage your relationship with your spouse. But if you manage it in a healthy way, it can be a catalyst for growth and eventually intimacy.
