Whenever I do pre-marital counseling, I usually include the following: role expectation and is it realistic, a good theology of marriage, the importance of communication, the necessity of commitment and how to deal with conflict or disagreement. Unless one of the marriage partners is a non-thinking robot, every marriage has disagreements. The only question is how we handle it.
But whether it’s in marriage, business, sports, politics, church, world issues or personal relationships, every life situation has disagreements. Again, the important thing is how we deal with it. So, how do we deal with disagreement?
