You care about each other. A lot. And at the same time, there is one or two or three areas in which you see things differently. Just because you have a disagreement or a difference of perspective doesn’t mean that you can’t respect each other.

There are ways to have respectful discourse about the topic of conflict. It doesn’t have to be a fight.

Even more so, in between those conversations as you work to a resolution, you ought to be that same loving couple – respectful, loving, cordial, warm, friendly. It may not seem easy, but it is possible.

It’s about the mindset: “We care about each other AND we see things differently on this issue.” Don’t let the conflict spill over into other aspects of your relationship.
