How many of you have ever had a fight?

Every couple has a story.

Round 1-Why We Fight
What do you fight about?  We can fight about anything and everything.
  • Romans 12:18-favorite verse about conflict
  • We are not always fighting about reality, but instead our perception.
    • Every fight can be attributed to perceived threat or perceived neglect.
      • Perceived Threat-critical, judgmental, controlling, demanding, attacking
      • Perceived Neglect-uncaring, uncommitted, neglectful, selfish, disengaged
  •  Men and women are different
    • Goal of Conversations: Men-Report Talk; Women-Rapport Talk
Round 2-How to Fight a Good Fight
  • The Conflict Card-Available on their app
  • Sharing Withholds (can be positive or negative)-Each couple shares three withholds
    • One positive-respond with only two words-"thank you"
    • One negative-respond with only two words-"thank you"
    • One positive-respond with only two words-"thank you"
