Have you ever tried to address a conflict within your marriage, but resorted to trying desperately to change your spouse? Or perhaps a better question... have you ever felt frustrated, hopeless, or even angry because your spouse won't do or act in a way that seems so right or logical to you?

My guess is yes! We have all been guilty of trying to do the impossible... change something about our spouse. Changing our spouse is impossible because it is way above our pay grade. So does being powerless to change our spouse (or anybody else for that matter) mean we should just live with it and experience conflict forever? Absolutely not!

There is hope for all couples who want peace, joy, and connection in their marriage. Today we discuss how to navigate conflict in your marriage without attempting to do the impossible task of changing your partner, but instead by helping each other become the best versions of yourselves. We believe this episode will give you tremendous hope and practical tools to grow deeper in your marriage as you live out God's Best together.

This is a can't-miss episode!

So let's get started!
