Breaking the Reactive Cycle: Mastering Self-Control in Marriage Communication
Description
Breaking the Reactive Cycle in Your Marriage
Does the same argument keep happening in your marriage? Do you find yourself pushing each other's buttons without meaning to? You're not alone - and there's hope for breaking free from destructive communication patterns.
In this episode, pastors Bryce and Colette Schaffer tackle one of the most challenging fruits of the Spirit: self-control. Drawing from nearly 30 years of marriage and 20 years of pastoral ministry, they share practical, biblical strategies for:
- Understanding your triggers and stopping the reactive cycle
- Becoming your spouse's advocate instead of adversary
- Creating proactive responses instead of reacting from the flesh
- Developing a personal reset strategy for heated moments
- Breaking generational patterns that no longer serve you
- Taking ownership of change together as a couple
Whether you're struggling with communication in your marriage, dealing with parenting conflicts, or simply want to create a more peaceful home, this episode offers real solutions rooted in God's Word.
