In times of conflict, I always look to the verses from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 in the Bible to guide my relationship with my partner. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. These words remind us to approach each other with love, respect, and forgiveness, even in the midst of challenges and disagreements.
