Romantic Conflict: Embracing Desires That Bless Not Bruise (The Gospel for Real Life)

â€œBrad Hambrick reveals that he knows real couplesâ€”you can tell he has fought on the front lines of marital counseling for years. Just as importantly, his writings reveal that he also knows how to handle Scripture. Combining these two skills is the perfect recipe for both a thoughtful and practical, as well as a true and helpful, discussion of marital conflict.â€
â€”Gary Thomas, Author of Sacred Marriage and A Lifelong Love

Reevaluating Our Desires, Rewriting Our Conflict

Few spouses have desires that are evilâ€”but even the good desires of two well-meaning people do not always match up. Fulfilling one personâ€™s desires often means we must neglect anotherâ€™s, which can lead to conflict and bitterness. So how do we enjoy the blessings of marriage without being consumed by our desire for the blessings we prefer?

Brad Hambrick shows us that Jesus addressed this very issue in his foundational call to be a disciple. In this plan for dealing biblically with marital conflict, he walks us through Jesusâ€™ words and their implications, outlines a typical marital conflict, gives us strategies for how to â€œinterruptâ€ our conflicts with grace and love, and gives us further tips on how to reignite romance going forward.

The Gospel for Real Life booklet series by the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) applies the timeless hope of Christ to the unique struggles of modern believers.

â€œThe gospel isnâ€™t just an ethereal idea. Itâ€™s not a philosophy and itâ€™s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms. I am grateful for ABCâ€™s work of letting the gospel bear its weight on these real life sorrows and pains.â€
â€”Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
