Resolving Conflict, Managing Anger, and Parenting
March 1, 2026
Dave and Betty Paul
Dave and Betty Paul cover two important topics in this session. First, they walk couples through practical tools for resolving conflict and managing anger — distinguishing between normal and deep conflict, exploring five common patterns of confrontation, introducing the STEP UP framework for problem-solving, and presenting options for de-escalating anger in the moment, all grounded in the call to choose forgiveness and pursue oneness in marriage. Second, they address parenting from a biblical perspective, contrasting secular and Christ-centered approaches, exploring parents as the single greatest influence in a child's life, and covering spiritual development, tech use, 10 actions kids need from parents, and the 5 C's for raising children with Confidence, Character, Convictions, Compassion, and Competence.
