Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with part one of a message called How to Reconcile a Relationship.

Hello, everybody!

One of the most important life skills that you have to learn in life. You must learn this.

Is conflict resolution, how to resolve a conflict, and how to restore or reconcile a

strained or broken relationship. If you don't learn this one, you're going to spend a lot of your

life miserable because we're imperfect people. We're all different. And so we have conflict almost

every day of our lives. If you run from conflict, if you try to get away from it, it's not going to work,

and you're going to be miserable and unhappy much of your life. Now, this is an important skill.

You have to use how to resolve a conflict at work. You got to know how to resolve a conflict

in your marriage. You got to know how to resolve a conflict if you're parent with children,

with friends in the community, at church, in a small group, literally everywhere.

Now, here's the problem. Nobody taught you how to do it. Nobody. You certainly didn't learn it

from your parents. The truth is, they might not have even been a very good model of conflict

resolution because nobody taught them. You never had a class in school on how do you resolve conflict?

How do you work it out? You didn't ever take a class on how do you restore a broken relationship?
