When it comes to handling disagreements, men tend to keep their problems to themselves, believing that exposing an obstacle is a sign of weakness. They want to show that they are capable of solving problems on their own, portraying the image of a strong man. Asking for help is usually a last resort, and humbling oneself first to seek peace is out of the question.

Women, on the other hand, do not hesitate to ask for help, seek advice, and listen to others. This is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is a way of gaining insight through the sharing of opinions. Women generally try to avoid direct confrontation. Often, they take indirect paths, use insinuations and various subtleties to avoid any confrontation.

Because women naturally assume that men communicate in the same way they do, they interpret messages accordingly. The reverse is also true: men tend to believe that women communicate as they do, often missing the subtle messages women send. Indicators of a crisis in conflict management include silence, short and curt responses, sulking, etc.

Some people pretend in public and maintain their crisis in private, while others expose it openly, to the point where the children, neighbors, and everyone else can see the misunderstanding that is tearing their relationship apart. Isaac and Rebecca were in constant conflict since the birth of their twins. One loved the elder, and the other loved the younger. Favoritism reigned in the family, sowing hatred among the children.

In many families where love is lacking, parental conflicts extend to the children and are often passed down from one generation to the next. The Midianites, descendants of Midian, the son of Abraham with Keturah, became the worst enemies of the children of Israel, descendants of Isaac.

When love is in crisis in your home, hurry to remedy it, for the consequences on your offspring can be very dangerous. If a carnal man can act this way, it should not be so for the spiritual man. Do not give the devil a foothold…
