Message Series - Relationshifts: Simple Tweaks to Make a Relationship Better • Is Conflict the Enemy, or Is Avoiding It? • Let’s be real—conflict gets a bad rap. Most of us would rather walk barefoot on Legos than address an issue head-on. Instead of talking it out, we avoid it like the plague, hoping it’ll magically disappear. Spoiler alert: it never does. Instead, we bottle it up, throw in some passive-aggressive comments, vent to someone else, or give the silent treatment. Sound familiar? • The truth is, avoiding conflict can be way more damaging than diving in and tackling the problem. When we leave issues unresolved, they don’t just sit quietly in the background—they simmer, and eventually, they boil over. That irritation we never expressed starts turning into resentment, bitterness, and before we know it, we’re angry about things we don’t even remember. Relationships fracture. We get stuck in cycles of frustration, wondering why we’re so distant from the people we care about. • But here’s the kicker: conflict itself isn’t the problem. It’s how we handle conflict that makes all the difference. Sure, it’s awkward, uncomfortable, and feels risky, but when two people work through problems together in a healthy, humble way, the results can actually be amazing. Not only can it clear the air, but it can also lead to deeper intimacy, emotional health, and stronger relationships. • Think about it—what if facing that difficult conversation is actually the first step toward healing, not just for your relationship but for your own peace of mind? What if solving conflict together is how you break free from the anger and emotional distance? • So, are you ready to take a closer look at how to shift from avoiding conflict to tackling problems together?
