Ten Tips For Communication & Conflict
Our goal shouldn’t be to avoid conflict, but to learn to work through it and resolve it in a way that honors God. Here are ten tips to go about it.
1. Learn to express your feelings and frustrations honestly, but without accusing or attacking the other person (Proverbs 11:9).
2. Choose words, expressions, and a tone of voice that are kind and gentle. Don’t use speech that could easily offend or spark an argument (Proverbs 15:1).
3. Don’t exaggerate, distort, or stretch the truth. Avoid extreme words like never and always (Ephesians 4:25).
4. Give actual and specific example. If necessary, make notes before you communicate. Stay away from generalities.
5. Commit yourself to seeking solutions instead of airing your grievances. Getting even isn’t the goal – you want to get things resolved (Romans 12:17-21).
6. Listen to what the other person is saying, feeling, and needing. Try to detect his or her underlying concerns (James 1:19).
7. Refuse to indulge bitterness, anger, withdrawal, or argument. Though these emotions are normal, indulging them is sin (Ephesians 4:26).
8. Don’t hesitate to acknowledge your own failure, and be quick to forgive the other person. Make sure you don’t hold a grudge (Luke 17:3-4).
9. Keep talking and asking questions until you are sure that you both understand clearly what the other is saying and feeling. Encourage each other as you press toward a solution (Romans 14:19).
10. Train your mouth and heart until you can say the right thing at the right time in the right way for the right reasons!
Remember, conflict is not necessarily a bad thing. And don’t be surprised if you experience it. It’s a sign that you’re really getting to know each other. Don’t run from it; instead, ask for God’s help to humbly and lovingly resolve it.

“I live in a high and
holy place,but also
with him who is contrite
and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit
of the lowly and to
revive the heart of the
contrite.”

down on you because
you are young, but set

in life, in love, in faith
and in purity"
