S1 EP40 – Why We Fight The Way We Do Pt.2
What if the arguments you’re having aren’t really about the dishes, the finances, or the schedule—but something much deeper?
In this part two of this episode of The Marriage Podcast with Dave & Sumer, Pastor Dave and Pastor Sumer explore “Why We Fight the Way We Do,” drawing insights from the book How We Love by Milan and Kay Yerkovich.
Together, they unpack how our early life experiences and attachment styles shape the way we communicate, respond to conflict, and pursue connection in marriage.
Every couple experiences conflict, but understanding why we react the way we do can transform the way we love each other. Through practical teaching, biblical wisdom, and years of pastoral experience, Pastor Dave and Pastor Sumer help couples identify unhealthy patterns, build greater empathy, and develop healthier ways of communicating and resolving conflict.
Their conversation offers hope that even long-standing relationship struggles can change as couples grow in self-awareness, extend grace, and invite God into the process of healing and transformation.
Whether you’re newly married or have been together for decades, this episode will equip you with practical tools and fresh perspective to strengthen your relationship and build a healthier, more Christ-centered marriage.
