Benefits of Fighting Fair Addressed at Lifetree Café
<p>How fighting fair can make marriages and other relationships better will be explored at Lifetree Café on Friday, Dec. 20, at NOON. </p><p>The program, titled “Conquering Conflict: Healthy Ways to Tackle Disagreements,” features a filmed interview with Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, whose relationship-building work has been featured on CNN, <em>Good Morning America</em>, <em>Oprah</em>, and the <em>New York Times</em> best-seller list.</p><p>“The average married couple argues about small, nagging things as much as 312 times per year,” said Les Parrott. “What matters is how we fight, not whether we fight.”</p><p>He also said fighting fair helps all relationships, but marriages suffer most when couples employ dirty tactics. “Ninety-three percent of couples who fight dirty will be divorced within 10 years.”</p><p>Participants in the Lifetree program will gain practical insights and skills for fighting fair, according to Lifetree representative Craig Cable.</p><p>Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at 2500 29<sup>th</sup> Ave. (inside Lutheran Church of the Resurrection).</p><p>Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Emily at (319) 377-4689 or office@lcrmarion.org.</p> 2019-11-25 13:00:00 -0600
