[podlove-episode-web-player publisher="2643" post_id="2643"]

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.

Every conflict is not the same, though we often react to conflicts like they are. We often think that every conflict takes two people – that both persons have some “wrong” that needs to be corrected.

But, as Tim tells us today, that’s not always the case.

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?

Tim talks about The Family You Grew Up With and gives steps for handling those problem areas.

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.
