Rules for fighting

One thing that people appreciate during our class was establishing some rules for conflict. Here are a few of the suggestions:

• Don't bring up the past
• Don't go to bed angry
• Stop and listen
• Seek to understand before being understood
• Be willing to take the blame
• Trust the good in your spouse

Ask yourself: "Am I trying to bring peace, or do I want to be heard?"

There will always be conflict in relationships.  Learn to build trust even in your disagreements.
