Do you ever get a little defensive when your spouse disagrees with you? Marriage disagreements get real because we can’t just ignore what we don’t agree on like we can with an acquaintance. Today Mike Donehey joins Dr. Kim on the podcast and shares gospel-centered wisdom that shows us a better way to disagree.
Episode highlights include:
How Christians should handle defensiveness
A great way to diffuse an argument as soon as it begins
What can happen when we take the time to really hear the other person’s argument
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
