Summary
Have you ever been in a place where a conflict has absolutely consumed you?
Whether you're grocery shopping or with friends, that conflict is just circling over and over in your mind.
Maybe you find yourself wondering how you even got there in the first place? And even more so, how to get out of that place?
Well, author and speaker Donna Jones is here today to talk about just that.
In her new book "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life: a Biblical guide to Communicating Thoughts, Feelings, and Opinions with Grace, Truth, and Zero Regret", Donna walks us through how to handle conflict with love and grace, how to be an Addresser of Conflict, rather than an Avoider or Attacker, how to lead with listening, and so much more.
We were sad to have this episode end because it was such a treasure!
We hope this episode blesses you and brings you and your spouse closer together- shoulder to shoulder, against the problem, rather than against each other.
We believe God can heal any relationship and He can use you through His wisdom to do just that.
Love,
Belah

| 0:23.2 | Hi there and welcome. |
| 0:25.3 | My name's Bella and I'm author and speaker and coach, specifically marriage trainer. |
| 0:30.9 | I think that's probably the best way to define me. |
| 0:33.9 | And if you're new to delight your marriage, I want to just say welcome. |
| 0:37.0 | And the reason we exist |
| 0:38.8 | is because most people have not had role models in how to be a marriage partner and how to be a spouse. |
| 0:48.0 | Maybe you've had great family role models to say, gosh, this is what playful, passionate, loving, fun, purposeful, |
| 0:58.0 | focused on doing what God wants you to do in your life looks like. And if you're the vast majority |
| 1:04.1 | of the rest of us, you're like, uh, I've got this amazing Bible, but how do I live this out? |
| 1:13.1 | So that's what we do at Delate Your Marriage. And that's why today's guest, Donna Jones, is really phenomenal. I think she takes principles |
| 1:20.2 | from the Bible and applies it to our relationships, including our marriage, and how to deal with |
| 1:26.5 | conflict. |
| 1:34.0 | Because if we're being in integrity, |
| 1:38.2 | if what we think and what we say and how we live are aligned, |
| 1:43.6 | are they're integrated, we are necessarily going to disagree with others, |
| 1:46.6 | including our spouse. And we need to have tools to know how to do that without harming or damaging the other person, the relationship in general. |
| 1:53.8 | And so Donna really does look at scripture and say, okay, 21st century, how do we make this work? |
| 2:03.1 | How do we put this in place? And that's why I really loved our conversation. But I also have something to share with you if you're a listener, if you've |
