Sinossi

Marriages are under increasing strain these days, with over half of them ending in divorce. Conflict is seen as grounds to end a marriage, rather than an opportunity to grow closer to each other and to God. The Seven Conflicts is an excellent resource for equipping couples to learn to understand the true nature of their conflicts and deal with them in a way that will actually help their marital fulfillment. Couples will learn to identify their mutual dreams, put differences into perspective, understand each other's underlying motives, and work together as partners who are more in love than ever.

Dalla quarta di copertina

NOTHING KEEPS AN ARUGUMENT GOING LIKE TWO PEOPLE WHO AREN T SURE WHAT THEY RE ARGUING ABOUT.
Are there conflicts in your marriage that you seem to revisit over and over again? Are there topics that always seem to cause a disagreement? Are there areas of you marriage that you avoid like a marital minefield?
The Seven Conflicts reveals seven hidden issues that are the underlying cause of most of the conflict in married life:
  • Security
  • Loyalty
  • Responsibility
  • Caring
  • Order
  • Openness
  • Connection
When a couple approached these seven issues from different perspectives, it leads to conflicts that just don t seem to go away. In The Seven Conflicts, you will learn why:
  • Disagreements over money are often not about money at all, but Security.
  • In-law arguments are really questions of Loyalty: Who side are you on, anyway?
  • Major conflicts begin over the question of Responsibility: What should we do?
  • The secret to Caring is found in the words Awareness and Initiative.
  • Your biggest conflicts are about the way you disagree.
  • Some conflicts will never go away ? but you can learn to love each other in spite of them and have a great marriage!
The Seven Conflicts will help you identify where you and your mate stand in relation to each of the seven issues ? and to each other. This accessible, practical guide will enable you to understand you mate s true motives, put your differences in perspective, anticipate areas of disagreement, and learn to live and love as committed partners.
