“Do two walk together,unless they have agreed to meet? Amos 3:3 ESV
No relationship is free from conflict. In fact, mark of genuine relationships are conflict, and how parties resolve them. Pretending there is no conflict won't resolve it. Being in denial to the fact that conflicts are already in existent won't solve it. Avoiding to deal with it won't fix it either. So how do we deal with conflicts? Go to your brother and deal with the issue. Instead of speaking negatively against one person to the hearing of another, go to the person and have the issue sorted between yourselves. If the issue was not solved, bring a person of authority to mediate between the two and hear both sides of the story. The move on and continue. If issues does not entail right and wrong and only point of preferences, then agree to disagree on some things. in Christianity, relationship matters. This is true for married couples, we need to work on our marriages. This is true in church, we need to work on our relationships. This is true in every relationship we are involved in. Agreeing does not mean forcing the person to view things the way you view them. it does mean to have communication lines open to deal with issues because we need to agree if we are to walk this life together. 1 December
