Our prayer should echo Psalm 139. "Search me, O God, and know my heart. Know my anxious thoughts and see if there's any wicked way in me."
Marital conflict is normal, right? Our culture says it is, but God has a better plan.

The Beelers' insights come from the “Fight for Your Marriage!” devotion in Dr. James & Shirley Dobson’s book, Night Light for Couples.
