How do you handle someone who does not respect your fences? What do you do with a fence-resistant person – especially if that person is your spouse?

Tim continues the discussion of what to do with a fence-resistant spouse. (See the previous post to view the clip that is referred to during the lesson.)

This teaching arc is based on the book “Boundaries”, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and is supplemented by their other books, Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries for Teens, and Boundaries for Kids.

We turn our attention to conflict that is more difficult to handle – and the people that cause it. Tim looks at the reasons Fence Breakers might be reacting the way they are.

The previous two weeks were spent discussing the types of conflicts we experience in relationships and, specifically, in marriage. Now we come to the big question: what do we DO about the conflict?

Tim discusses the two parts of every conflict, the path to take in any conflict, and why some conflicts are easier to resolve than others.

We only used one clip this week, which was a short bit from the Newhart Show via www.Hulu.com.

But the media clip we really wanted to share was the recording of the sound of our class during the clip. You’ll enjoy this.

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 14:31:35 +0000

Every conflict is not the same, though we often react to conflicts like they are. We often think that every conflict takes two people – that both persons have some “wrong” that needs to be corrected.

But, as Tim tells us today, that’s not always the case.

We used three clips for our talk on “Six types of conflict, part 1.” The first was an introductory clip, that shows a couple of types of conflict, from the old Dick Van Dyke Show. While we only watched the first couple of minutes, you can see the whole episode here. (via Hulu.com)

The second clip was shown to support the point about communication…and how men and women react differently. This was from Dr. Henry Cloud and the CloudTownsend.com website.

The final clip was shown at the end of class. This also was from Dr. Cloud.

Where are the specific conflicts likely to happen when we try to establish fences – or because we don’t? What are the signs that you might have some problem fence areas?

Trudi talks about the Fence Wars we have in Marriage today. Specifically, we talk about the intruders that would try to come inside and disrupt your marriage, how we let them in, and how we keep them out.
