This week we continue our series on Building Better Marriages by asking the question, What Does Better Look Like? This week Pastor Mike covers the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, as he shares guidance & wisdom when "fighting" with your Spouse. “All couples fight, but healthy couples fight fair. Unhealthy couples fight dirty, with below-the-belt jabs, sucker punches, angry accusations, and bitter grudges. Healthy couples fight for resolution. Unhealthy couples fight for personal victory.” - Craig & Amy Groeschel “From This Day Forward”Think “team” not “me”And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.Ephesians 5:21 NLTSo again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.Ephesians 5:33 NLTDecide when you are going to address the issue.Agree on rules of EngagementStart with PrayerTrust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

This week we continue our series on Building Better Marriages by asking the question, What Does Better Look Like? Pastor Mike shares keys to one of the most Vital aspects of Healthy Marriages, COMMUNICATION!!

---------------

Sermon Notes:

Communication is a Message SENT and a message RECEIVED.

There are two keys to good communication: Make it Clear and Make it Safe.

Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.

Genesis 2:25 NLT

A safe place is a place where you can be loved and accepted.

**ALWAYS SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND**

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.

Proverbs 18:13 NLT

Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes.

Proverbs 19:2 NLT

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

James 1:19 NLT

**BE WILLING TO BE VULNERABLE**

No matter how long you’ve been married, you cannot assume your spouse can read your mind.

**LET YOUR FIRST WORDS BE YOUR BEST WORDS**

Three phrases every marriage needs:

“I’m Sorry”

“I Forgive You”

“I Love You”

…And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

1 Peter 5:5 NLT

If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:14-16 NLT

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

1 John 4:18 NLT

We love each other because he loved us first.

1 John 4:19 NLT
