SynopsisWhen it comes to anger, there are natural dilemmas that exist when dealing with how you do or don't express it. Many people who have issues with anger do so because they feel, or the partner feels, that it's not okay to be angry. And because there is no allowed outlet provided for their upset, things build to an extreme point much more quickly than if there had been permission to experience and display negative emotions (frustration, disappointment, etc.). The Bible states that "In your anger do not sin," (Ephesians 4:26a) and, along these lines, one of the central concepts of conflict resolution is that it's okay to feel and express your upset as long as you do it appropriately - ideally, in a way that creates understanding, not does further damage. One of the primary purposes of this book is to not only show better ways to express potential upset, but how to maintain a healthy relationship where, if you follow the guidelines, discussions are unlikely to ever turn into fights., "Conflict Resolution for Christian Couples" is written in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and logical progression that maps out how to have a healthy relationship - one where conflict can be readily managed. The book has solid answers and strategies for Christian couples having difficulties working out reasonable solutions. This book consists of four parts. Part I is about establishing a spiritually healthy foundation for the relationship: 1) knowing the basics of Biblical knowledge, prayer, fellowship and ministry, and 2) taking into account the spiritual world, and respecting the balance between grace and accountability. Part II details a useful conflict resolution model and itemizes 26 effective tools (the ABC's) for moving smoothly through issues. Part III provides a 3-part solution model for mapping out a plan for change, and discusses healthy routines for maintaining change. Part IV addresses two unique dilemmas for long-term relationships: 1) affair recovery or affair safe-guarding, and 2) considering or going through a marital separation.
