Distrust 1st Instinct First instinct = Defensive
Cat in a corner – the claws come out, hiss, show teeth
James 1:19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

Control your Temper You can measure a man by what makes
him angry.
Proverbs 14:17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
Proverbs 14:29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

Listen First Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away
wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
Build bridges, not barriers
Let him finish - “Give him enough rope to hang himself.”

Look for Agreement Jesus did
In letters to 7 churches (Revelation 2 & 3)
Each letter starts with what is good with that church
Find something good to say Tell them what is right

Promise to Consider Genesis 21:9-11 9 And Sarah saw the
son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. 10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. 11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

Promise to Consider Genesis 21:12 And God said unto
Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
God said – Listen to Sarah, Consider her feelings, think about her point of view
