Communication and Conflict Resolution: A Biblical Perspective (Stuart Scott)

Communication and Conflict Resolution

A Biblical Perspective

Communication and solving conflicts are two major hurdles in any marriage. Doing these biblically must be the resolve of both husband and wife. If you won’t honor God in these areas, count on misery and trouble.

It starts with humility: I may not be right. It also starts with desiring to please God more than self. God considers most conflict a grievous thing that He wants His children to have no part in it. Strife generally arises from selfishness. This booklet has arisen from over 2 decades of experience in counseling families.
