Turn heated marriage fights into fair, faith-filled wins with A-R-T: Awareness of Christ's presence and ally mindset, Restraint through gentle tones and etched rules, Turnaround via apologies and prayer—for couples ready to honor God amid conflict.

Author, Speaker, Pastor

Questions to Consider

  1. If Jesus stands beyond your spouse's shoulder during every argument, how might quenching His presence cost you more than winning the fight?
  2. When conflict tempts you to see your spouse as the enemy, what happens if you hang the neon sign "we are allies" before reloading your rebuttal?
  3. If a gentle tone turns away wrath but you escalate to match their volume, are you rejecting Scripture's counterintuitive power for self-righteous venting?
  4. After the storm clears, why risk assuming peace when a simple "are we good?" could rebuild trust and confirm the turnaround?
