Hi, Friend!

Conflict in marriage isn’t always about the facts. Discover how “investments” and past pain cloud your perspective and how to find clarity through validation.

If five people witness a car accident, you will likely get five different eyewitness reports. If three people interpret a Bible verse, they will often have three different opinions of its meaning. In a marriage, a husband and a wife can recall the same event and describe two completely different realities.

Why are there so many different viewpoints? The answer lies in our “investment.” We don’t just see facts; we interpret life through the lens of our convictions, worldviews, and past traumas. To begin understanding perspectives in marriage, we must look at the hidden motivations that drive our reactions. (text) (mp3)
