12 Days To A Love That LastsBeispiel

## Conflict No matter how blissful your relationship, no matter how easily you mesh together, no matter how many stress-free days you've had together, one thing is certain: Conflict will come. It's unavoidable. Even the most star-kissed relationship that has ever existed, with each member of the couple constantly oohing and ahhing and finishing one another's sentences with a cute giggle – even that couple will encounter conflict. Someday. That's why you need to know how to handle it when it happens. Today's scripture encourages us to be slow to speak – a useful admonish when conflict inevitably rears its ugly head. It also reminds us to be slow to anger - something that can often more easily be said than done. Are you quick to speak? Are you prone to anger? Do you know why? Have you ever stopped to dig into those tendencies and figure them out? Because if you can, then you're well on your way to mitigating conflict in the future. And engaging with conflict in a healthy and productive way – that's a major building block in creating a love that lasts.
