Reminder 6: Care More About the Person Than the Point

Conflict is inevitable in relationships—but too often, we get stuck trying to prove our point. Trying to win an argument often comes at a cost: losing the person.

Healthy relationships are marked by people who are strong enough to face tension and committed enough to work through it with love, patience, and openness. When you care more about the person than making your point, your trust grows, and your connection deepens.

Reflect:

• Are you the kind of person who tries to “win” an argument?
• How can you keep the focus on preserving the relationship next time conflict arises?

Pray: Jesus, teach me to speak the truth in love—and to care more about the relationship than being right. Amen.
