Running from it, pouting about it, and pretending it&#8217;s not really happening seem initially more inviting than actually facing the conflict.<\/p>\n\n<p>If avoidance doesn&#8217;t work we try intimidation. We threaten, cry, create power blocks, and quote Scripture .<\/p>\n\n<p>Sometimes we can&#8217;t successfully intimidate, so we manipulate. This involves enticement, bribery, and withholding everything from sex to personal influence.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our final solution is usually deflection. Instead of focusing on the real issue, we deflect off it to issues that are safer, more urgent, and more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n<p>None of these work.<\/p>\n\n<p>We should, instead, try to first establish a solid foundation for conflict resolution in each situation. Ask these questions: &#8220;Why do we need to resolve this? Do our mutual best interests require that we resolve this? Is resolving this a part of our Christian commitment, or a part of our marriage vows?&#8221; &#8220;I vowed in our marriage to love and be faithful to you. I want to resolve any conflict that comes between us based on that commitment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Then, identify the real issues. Are unfulfilled expectations causing the conflict? Is it a matter of who has the power or who&#8217;s going to have the last word? Is it a problem of trust?<\/p>\n\n<p>Once you know the issue, identify feelings and share them. &#8220;You know, I&#8217;ve really felt neglected. I&#8217;ve been feeling angry. I&#8217;ve been feeling awfully lonely.&#8221; Because it&#8217;s difficult to share feelings, incorporate them with other experiences: &#8220;I feel like I did on our vacation when you went out without telling me, and I got very upset.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Listen attentively to the other person. This requires practice because usually we&#8217;re busy preparing our defense instead of listening. If we&#8217;re not interested in hearing their side, we&#8217;re not interested in resolving the conflict; we merely want to prove we are right and they are wrong. We must learn to listen in a non-defensive way.<\/p>\n\n<p>Be ready to concede. The other person is hurt by you. Even though you didn&#8217;t deliberately hurt him, you must accept that the person is experiencing pain that came from your side of the relationship. If you&#8217;re really concerned, you&#8217;ll be truly: sorry. Whether the cause of the conflict is moral failure or simply insensitivity, face up to it, confess it, and ask forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n<p>Be forgiving. Often the reason we don&#8217;t want to forgive is because by withholding forgiveness, we feel a sense of superiority. This is pride and self-righteousness, and it can be cut away by forgiving.<\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, learn how to compromise. By the time you&#8217;ve gone through the preceding steps, you should be ready to negotiate things that are important to you and the other person.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 1980 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em class=\"citation\">Leadership Journal<\/em>.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on <em class=\"citation\">Leadership Journal<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In trying to resolve conflict we usually take easy ways out.
