Summary

Every couple has disagreements, but the way you handle disagreements can make or break your marriage. As part of this week’s marriage challenge at Girlfriends after hours, this week I’m sharing 7 tips for ways to “Fight Fair” and resolve conflict in a loving way that will draw you closer to your husband and help you both grow in relationship together.

Some of the ideas we discuss include the importance of communication, setting boundaries, and the need for both partners to listen and understand each other. We also talk about the bad habits if assuming the worst about others, exaggeration, and then we emphasize the power of prayer in resolving conflicts.

Takeaways

* Conflict is a natural part of marriage.

* Setting boundaries can help manage arguments.

* Listening is more important than arguing.

* Assuming the best about your partner fosters understanding.

* Avoid exaggeration in conflicts to maintain clarity.

* Apologizing sincerely can heal relationships.

* Prayer can be a powerful tool in resolving conflicts.

* Communication should happen outside of heated moments.

* It's important to forget about winning arguments.

* Healthy relationships require ongoing effort and self-reflection.

0:00.0	Holiness starts at home, which is why our holy home wants to help you bring subtle and beautiful faith-filled decor into your family's daily life.
0:08.0	From tea towels to beautiful pre-framed art to tablecapes, there's something for every home, and each collection is inspired by something beautiful and uniquely Catholic.
0:17.5	From the Mother Teresa-inspired collection based on the clean blue lines of her iconic
0:21.7	sari to the Ave Maria collection featuring the stunning Marian monogram. I recently received a few
0:27.6	of their dish towels and I absolutely love them. Just hanging them in my kitchen brings a little
0:31.9	bit of Catholic meaning and beauty to my everyday life. Every time I see them hanging there,
0:38.5	it reminds me to say a little Hail Mary and invite the Blessed Mother's intercession into my day. Order your home in the
0:43.5	rhythms of the church at Our Holy Home.com. Girlfriends, episode number 444, raising faithful, resilient

1:15.3	This week, our special guest is Chris Cope from Bold Books. He's a longtime friend of mine, and I can't wait to share this important conversation with you. Let's go.
1:27.9	Hey, girlfriend, how are you? Thank you so much for being here and being a part of this week's show. If you are a first time listener of the Girlfriend's Podcast, I want to give you a special hello and welcome. But all the rest of you who've shown up before, who are long time
1:33.5	or every time listeners, I really appreciate you too. Thank you so much for being here for this show.
1:39.3	So this week, I'm talking with Chris Cope about raising resilient, faithful kids in a world that is so often against us.
1:47.1	And before I share our conversation, I just wanted to make a note here of the fact that there's so
1:52.4	much about parenting in the world today that can feel like it's fear-based. Like you make
1:58.2	decisions out of fear. We fear the culture. We fear the influence of the world on our
2:04.4	kids. We fear digital media and what it's going to do to our kids' brains or we fear pornographic
2:10.3	influences online or political influences in their classrooms or all of these things. And there
2:17.4	really is a temptation toward anxiety.
