Ephesians 4:22-24
1. Relationships between imperfect people will have conflicts, but the key is not to be vindictive , but constructive .
Psalms 127:1
Ephesians 4:26-29
2. Relationships between Christians always require careful analysis of the most Godly way to proceed.
Proverbs 19:11
A. Avoidance is not an answer to any conflict.
B. There are some problems that are just not worth disagreeing about for the sake of the relationship .
Ephesians 4:15; 4:29
C. Then there are other problems that must be discussed .
Ephesians 4:30-32
3. Christian relationships are not about perfection , they are about redemption .
PLEASE REMEMBER... Our families and marriages are not meant to be what God desires on their own .
You can’t be married for very long without learning how to say...
1. Let's compromise and both give a little so we can agree on a solution .
2. I was wrong... I am sorry... Please forgive me .
3. I think we need help... I am willing to go to counseling or do anything that can help this relationship out .
