Arguments

We disagree. It is a fact of life. We do not all have the same ideas or opinions. Paul and Barnabas had a big disagreement in Acts 15. They parted ways instead of traveling together.

God never promises that we will have dear friends who will stand by us always. He never told us that we would agree with our spouses. We know that we are in for relationship problems. Even Jesus has trouble with his relationships with others. The trick is to handle it nicely.

We are expected to treat others with respect. If their ideas don't match ours, we are free to go our separate ways. It is okay to agree to disagree.
