• Agree to disagree.

Agree to disagree.

There is one point I'd like to cover in this newsletter, and that is how to agree to disagree.

In all relationships, conflict will arise. By implementing the correct behavior, you can resolve that conflict and have a breakthrough. Conflict is a driver to increase intimacy and build a strong, more resilient relationship.

But what do you do when you just don't see eye to eye on a particular disagreement?

Well, if it's not detrimental to the relationship and doesn't require professional mediation like a marriage/ relationship therapist, then sometimes you have to agree to disagree.

After exhausting all strategies to resolve the issue of course. Like, Communicating openly and actively listening, Taking a break if needed, trying to Compromise and find common ground and you just can’t get on the same page.

The healthiest approach is to acknowledge that you have a fundamental difference in opinion or preference, and agree that it's okay to respectfully disagree on that particular issue. Not every conflict needs a definitive "winner."

To move forward in a healthy way following the agreement to disagree, make an effort to not let the unresolved disagreement bleed into other aspects of your relationship. Try to keep it confined to the specific topic, rather than letting it undermine your whole dynamic. Then, reaffirm the core reasons you're together - the values, hopes, and dreams you share as a couple. This can help you maintain perspective and unity despite the disagreement.

Don't let the disagreement overshadow the good things in your relationship. You could even set a schedule to periodically check in about the disagreement - perhaps every few months. This allows you both to voice any new thoughts or feelings, without letting it become a constant source of tension.

The key is to not let the unresolved disagreement consume your whole relationship. With compartmentalization and a focus on your shared positives, you can often find a way to move forward constructively, even if you can't see eye-to-eye on everything.

In the Bible, Paul and Barnabas experienced a 'sharp disagreement' over whether to include John Mark on their second missionary journey. Despite this conflict, they were able to part ways amicably and continue their effective ministries separately.

The Bible shows that even the most faithful followers of God can have interpersonal disagreements, but they were able to move forward peacefully, focusing on their shared purpose of spreading the gospel. This story teaches the importance of maintaining unity, while allowing room for differences.

Ultimately, God used their disagreement to double the missionary teams and further the work of the church. The story demonstrates how even conflicts can be redeemed and reminds us that God has his hand in EVERYTHING.
