Every family faces conflict—but not every family handles it well. In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds us that the goal isn’t avoiding conflict; it’s honoring God through it. Healthy homes are built when parents speak truth with love, control their emotions instead of being controlled by them, and lead with grace even when tensions rise. “Fighting fair” means we don’t let anger take over or bitterness take root. Instead, we model for our children what forgiveness looks like in real time. The way we handle conflict teaches them more about Jesus than our words ever could.
