The Well

It may be one of the hardest lessons to learn, but if you can do it, you'll radically transform your relationship. Wanna know what it is? Then don’t miss this next message.

How to resolve conflict peaceably:

I. The command – we are to deal with our mates as Christ deals with us. -Colossians 3:13-15

1. “Bear with one another” – cause of tension
2. “Forgiving one another” – hurt and/or offense
3. “Whoever has a complaint” – personalized, ongoing
4. “Just as the Lord forgave you” – required response
5. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” – let God be the umpire
6. “Called into one body” – priority of unity
7. “Be thankful” – focus on what we have, not what’s lacking

II. We all respond to “tension” positively or negatively.

III. How to “DIFFUSE” conflict in your marriage

D - DEFINE the problem on your own. -Proverbs 15:14 & 21:2

I - INITIATE a time to talk. -Matthew 5:23-24

F - FOCUS on the “perceived” problem, not the person. -Proverbs 18:19

F - FEEL their pain as though it were your own. -Proverbs 17:17

U - UNCOVER the root problem. -Proverbs 20:5

S - SET things right between you. -James 5:16

E - ESTABLISH a specific action plan that addresses the issue discussed; write it down. -James 1:22-25
