Learning How to Do Life Well
We turn our attention to conflict that is more difficult to handle – and the people that cause it. Tim looks at the reasons Fence Breakers might be reacting the way they are.
The previous two weeks were spent discussing the types of conflicts we experience in relationships and, specifically, in marriage. Now we come to the big question: what do we DO about the conflict?
Tim discusses the two parts of every conflict, the path to take in any conflict, and why some conflicts are easier to resolve than others.
This teaching arc is based on the book “Boundaries”, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and is supplemented by their other books, Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries for Teens, and Boundaries for Kids.

Where are the specific conflicts likely to happen when we try to establish fences – or because we don’t? What are the signs that you might have some problem fence areas?
Today we continue talking about the People You Work With. Tim discusses a Biblical Theology of Work and what fence problems might show up on the job.
