Relationship Reset
Fight Right
Philippians 2:1-8 and Matthew 7:12 provide a powerful framework for handling conflict in relationships. Philippians calls us to approach others with humility, selflessness, and the mindset of Christ, prioritizing their needs above our own. Matthew 7:12, the Golden Rule, challenges us to treat others as we want to be treated, fostering mutual respect and empathy. Together, these verses teach us to fight for the relationship, not to win arguments or prove we are right. Instead of seeking victory, we seek understanding, reconciliation, and unity, valuing the person and the connection over being right. This approach fosters healthy, grace-filled relationships that reflect Christ’s love.
