As part of this week’s marriage challenge at Girlfriends after hours, this week I’m sharing 7 tips for ways to “Fight Fair” and resolve conflict in a loving way that will draw you closer to your husband and help you both grow in relationship together.

    5 Things You Probably Need to Let Go

    What do you need to let go of? I’m going to make you think a bit with five ideas for stuff you might be holding onto—physically, emotionally, or spiritually— that’s no longer serving you. We discuss the burden of physical clutter, the emotional weight of past hurts, the need to control others, the false virtue of busyness, and the effect of ego on our identity. I promised you this link to the Litany of Humility.Here is all the information about the upcoming Girlfriends marriage challenge. Don’t miss it! Takeaways * Letting go of physical clutter can lighten your emotional load. * Forgiveness is a continuous process that requires effort. * Holding onto hurt only prolongs your pain. * You cannot control other people's actions or feelings. * Busyness can distract you from what truly matters. * Your identity should be rooted in being a child of God. * Decluttering can create space for new opportunities.
