00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.766
Every marriage has clashes, but not every clash builds marriage.

00:00:06.766 --> 00:00:12.266
Disagreements are part of any godly union.

00:00:12.266 --> 00:00:15.833
But disagreements should lead to greater agreement.

00:00:15.833 --> 00:00:20.600
Misunderstanding should produce greater understanding.

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.700
When we waste our misunderstandings,

00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:34.500
rather than learning from them, we end up repeating them.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:44.166
And that is a common cause of love growing cold - because we’re living in the past.

00:00:44.166 --> 00:00:48.233
You remind your husband of the past.

00:00:48.233 --> 00:00:52.900
You remind your wife of the past when conflicts come

00:00:52.900 --> 00:00:55.600
and so you end up repeating them,

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.666
rather than learning from them, rather than growing through them.

00:00:59.666 --> 00:01:01.833
Misunderstanding must come.

00:01:01.833 --> 00:01:03.633
Disagreement must come.

00:01:03.633 --> 00:01:05.366
Conflict must come.

00:01:05.366 --> 00:01:10.000
But as Christians who understand the past is over,

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.400
we are to learn from them, grow through them.

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.966
There's a difference between life experience and life lessons.
