capable of hearing or seeing from a perspective other than their own. It seems to me that this is the level of actual conflict. I appreciate Kale’s pointing to Muzafer Sherif’s research demonstrating the idea of having people focus on what he called “superordinate goals.” This is also something I do when talking with couples involved in conflict, pointing to, reminding them of, getting them to focus on the superordinate goal of their marriage and God’s plan, purpose for them as Husband and…
