Breaking the Reactive Cycle in Your Marriage

Does the same argument keep happening in your marriage? Do you find yourself pushing each other's buttons without meaning to? You're not alone - and there's hope for breaking free from destructive communication patterns.

In this episode, pastors Bryce and Colette Schaffer tackle one of the most challenging fruits of the Spirit: self-control. Drawing from nearly 30 years of marriage and 20 years of pastoral ministry, they share practical, biblical strategies for:

• Understanding your triggers and stopping the reactive cycle
• Becoming your spouse's advocate instead of adversary
• Creating proactive responses instead of reacting from the flesh
• Developing a personal reset strategy for heated moments
• Breaking generational patterns that no longer serve you
• Taking ownership of change together as a couple

Whether you're struggling with communication in your marriage, dealing with parenting conflicts, or simply want to create a more peaceful home, this episode offers real solutions rooted in God's Word.
