The Argument Black Hole

Have you or your spouse ever said something along the lines of, “We argue over little things.”, or “None of our arguments ever get resolved.”  If you have, then you have fallen headfirst into the Argument Black Hole.  Join them this week, as the guys talk about the biggest mistake couples make when they have a disagreement.

PROBLEM:

  1. Arguing over facts
  2. Arguing over who’s reality is correct
  3. Winning is more important than solving the problem
  4. My Side Bias skews facts
  5. Memories are NOT accurate recordings of events.  Research suggests that that we remember what we WANT to believe happened

SOLUTION:

  1. Realize that the argument is not about the facts
  2. The event is the surface problem to a root cause
  3. Chose the hill you will die on
  4. Must be able to agree to disagree

About Dr. Jimmy and Josh Myers

Dr. Jimmy Myers served on staff at 2 Southern Baptist Churches for over 20 years in youth ministry, prior to founding The Timothy Center in 2001. As a licensed professional counselor and Owner/Executive Director of The Timothy Center, his daily focus is on helping others find God’s solutions to life challenges. In the many years of ministry to teens and their families, Dr. Myers’ experience has shown him that it is never too late to turn a family around. Dr. Myers has spent more than 25 years writing, ministering, and speaking nationwide on the subjects of discipleship, teenage life, and Christian parenting. He and his wife, Beth, are the parents of 3 children and their spouses, and proud grandparents to 6 grandchildren.

Dr. Joshua Myers surrendered his life to full time Christian service in 2000. Since that point the Lord has impressed on his heart a passion not only for people, but more specifically for the stories which they tell. It is that passion that directed Joshua toward Christian counseling. He has worked with a variety of ages and issues, and feels that the Lord has called him “for such a time as this” to minister to families.

Joshua has a passion for seeing the healing work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of God’s people. He is married to his beautiful wife, Katie, and they have the joy of being parents to three precious children, Ruth, JJ, and Sam.
