MP 009 : Arguing in Marriage

“You get in the biggest fights with those you care about most because those are the relationships worth fighting for.” The only person in the world you will always agree with is yourself. Especially in marriage, people are going to disagree and this can lead to heated arguments between two people who really and truly love each other. This is normal and healthy! We have to fight to work out our differences and come to greater unity in our marriage. The goal of an argument should not be being right, but being unified. Even if you end up still disagreeing, arguments should lead to greater clarity and understanding. In this podcast, we talk about why to argue, principles for good arguments, and some basic ground rules. “A happy marriage is a union of two forgivers” – Ruth Bell Graham
