 Marriage Counseling Part 4 FAIRFIELD BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP This week we continue study on "Roadblocks in Marriage Communication," specifically looking at a willingness to admit your fault. Marriage counseling points out over and over again that couples need to be more motivated to continue the arduous task of marital change. One way to overcome communication roadblocks is to identify them. How is this done? One way is to attempt to understand the verbal wounds that affect current marital interaction. Coupled with this should be an attempt to facilitate the experience of the unconditional love of Jesus Christ, whose love can heal these wounds (Jeremiah 30:17). Couples need to work hard at the biblical admonition to love each other unconditionally. In I John 4:7a it says, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God." Unconditional love is beginning to be experienced when couples are willing to admit their part of the fault in the current marital strife. Want to reveal your own stubbornness? Consider when and where you are not willing to acknowledge your own personal faults (We all have them.). Isn't it also true that nothing will be accomplished in marriage communication until someone acknowledges his or her own personal fault in the problem being experienced? A key in solving conflicts is each individual's ability to acknowledge and willingness to accept responsibility for his/her faults. It is seldom one person's problem; in most cases it takes two people to cause a conflict. More discussion to follow about admitting fault.
