Summary

Picking up their conversation from last week, Dan and Cathy turn their attention to uncovering the roots of conflict in relationships and how we can move towards true connection. Oftentimes conflict arises because we cannot name what we truly need, or we cannot see past our own contempt—ultimately there is something keeping us from seeing the other well. Redemption is possible, but we must be willing to engage our conflict in a way we’ve not experienced before.

0:47.9	conflict and marriage, conflict and larger relationships. And one of the things that we
0:52.9	underscored is, look, there is no way that we can escape.
0:57.8	It's inevitable.
0:58.8	It is the reality that conflict exposes the disparity of desire, that we all have different desires,

1:27.1	What thoughts have you had about your murderous and jealous heart?
