Married Couples Argue
If you’re married, you’ve had arguments. Disagreements are going to happen. But what we want to talk about is when you get into a consistent pattern of fighting. We can go through seasons in marriage that can be really difficult. As a result, it can become exhausting and wear you down quickly.

Hope Is Not Lost
If you’re married and you’re fighting a lot, please know that you’re not alone. Most married couples have gone through seasons just like the one you’re in. Remember that if you don’t know what to do, the Bible is a great place to turn. It’s an amazing resource you can reference to gain a clearer understanding of how He wants you to live your life. And don’t forget to pray for your marriage, and your spouse, as well.
And remember who that person is you’re fighting with.
That person is the Love of Your Life!
Choose them over the conflict. Every time. Fight FOR them, not against them.
