Whether you've been married 30 minutes or 30 years, conflict is inevitable. But it's how we deal with conflict that makes or breaks a marriage. On this episode of the Abundant Life Family Podcast, our hosts Bill and Jen Hildebrand sit down with Jonathan and Angela Buttram and talk about how to handle conflict in a healthy and biblical way. James 4:1 says "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?" Whether it's love, respect, significance, or something else...when we are fighting, we are battling for something.  The key, in marriage, or any relationship, is to use conflict as an opportunity to 1: glorify God, 2: grow personally, and 3: grow together.

If you are struggling with conflict within your marriage or family, Abundant Life has resources for you.
