It is a fact that you will have disagreements and when you do there are only 3 possible solutions. Either one of you will have to change your mind and go to the other’s side, or you will both have to compromise and meet somewhere in the middle. If neither of these work, then you need to agree to take some time to pray……..Call time out in the huddle and talk to the Coach (Jesus).

I always recommend that you read and even memorize 3 verses in Phillipians chapter 2 verses 2, 3, and 4 when you are having a disagreement. Verse 2 says, ” be like-minded having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” This means to remember you are on the same team so what are you fighting each other about? Verses 3 and 4 tell you that you should: “Do NOTHING out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

If you examine your motives, you may find that you are being selfish and wanting your own way. I believe that it is not your way and not your spouse’s way, but God’s way that you need to seek. If you are in disagreement, you should both ask God what HE wants you to do and “lean NOT unto your own understanding”. 

Amos 3:3  “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?”

Work hard to agree and when you disagree, stop and examine your motives.
