What To Do After a Fight

What should a Christian couple do after a fight? In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron and Jennifer Smith answer a listener's question, admitting they had just had a hard conversation themselves before recording. They explain why fighting should be uncommon in a Christian marriage, because walking in the Spirit makes it nearly impossible, and share biblical action steps for reconciling when a fight does happen. Live as a new creation, putting off anger and putting on love (Colossians 3, Ephesians 4). Act as ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5). Don't let the sun go down on your anger. Confess and pray together out loud (James 5:16), refuse to keep a record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13), and use physical touch to reconnect.
