Helpful tips on how
to avoid and
overcome conflict
in the family
 Step
one

 Resolving conflict requires knowing accepting,

to your difference.
- One reason we have conflict in marriage is
that opposite attracts. Usually a task oriented
individual marries someone who is more people-
oriented.
 Step
two

 Resolving conflict requires defeating selfishness.

 All of our differences are magnified in marriage

because they feed what is undoubtedly the
biggest source of the conflict our selfish, sinful
nature.
 Step
three

 Resolving conflict requires pursuing the other

person

 Romans 12:18 says “ It is possible as much as it

depends on you, live peaceably with all men”.
The longer I live the longer I realize how difficult
those words are for many couples. Living
peaceably means pursuing peace.
 Step
four

 Resolving conflict requires loving confrontation.

 Wordsworth said, “He who has a good friend

needs no mirror. “ Blessed is the marriage
where both spouses feel the other is a good
friend who will listen, understand, work through
any problem or conflict, to do this well takes
loving confrontation.
 Step
five
 Resolving conflict requires forgiveness

 No matter how hard two people to love and

please each other, they will fail. With failure
comes hurt. And the only ultimate relief for
hurt is the soothing solve of forgiveness.
 Step
six

 Resolving conflict requires returning blessing for

an insult

 First Peter 3:8-9 says “ To sum up all of you be

harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kind-
hearted, and humble in spirit, not returning evil
for evil or insulting for insulting, but giving a
blessing instead, for you were called for the
very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.
