A video we watched this week to prepare for class included a little talk by President Eyring talking about how the brethren in the church have councils. There is an order in which each meeting goes, and it makes it so everyone knows what to expect and also so that it's organized. They suggested we use that same system to have councils with our spouses and families.
We also talked about how when we ever have problems or disagreements, we should talk about it as soon as we can to avoid conflict.
Conflict can bring contention, and when there is contention the spirit is not around and we are always striving to have the spirit with us. If we are ever in a place where we and our spouse have an issue, work on trying to agree or finding a solution that will benefit you both as a system.
I believe that if we choose to address our conflicts immediately it will bring us closer as spouses, and it will only get easier to confront each other. It might even make it so conflict happens less. I have seen it in my own life, when I am upfront about something to someone, it only makes it easier to deal with than if I were to ignore it and let it build.
