It is not a question of "if" family members will disagree, but "when." Families will fight, but "how" they fight matters most. When we disagree, it is critical that the fruit of the Spirit prevail (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control - Gal. 5:22-23).

Giving into the flesh (see vs. 19-21) will make a much bigger mess of any conflict and give Satan a foothold in your home. Grace must predominate in our speech, our actions, our demeanor, our responses. Overcoming a good household struggle has just as much power to strengthen families as it does to ruin them. It all depends "how" we fight (and if you think your family fights more than any other, you are sadly mistaken - other families just might fight better).
