It is all about saying sorry and who will say it first :-)

Forgive as quickly as Jesus does. :)
Oh, in regards to above link, I meant to say, pick a verse, ANY verse! :)
“Thank you very much. I will live my life according to the consensus.”
I LOVE your sense of humor!
The only time I can think of a “fight” going on that long is when you can’t do anything about it, or you are unaware of it. I’ve seen both happen, my dad was usually oblivious to my mom’s silent “cues” or maybe he hoped it would blow over?
The other occured when we left a church, and the offended party refused to talk to us about it. We actually had no idea how far the bitterness went until we recieved a very lovely apology years later!
But I doubt either of these are what you’re talking about – and like Christina, I LOVE your humor! :)
a while back, I would have voted the emphatic no….but then recently, we had an experience that changed it all for me. One phrase sums it up well. Property damage.
I guess it depends on whether both parties can live with a “we’ll have to agree to disagree” situation. But when that involves key decisions about how children should be raised, I’m guessing that it would mean a diminishing of the relationship b/c you wouldn’t want someone who parents in a way that is offensive to you around your kids (kinda related to that “bad company corrupts good morals” thing — even when both are Christians.
I choose the 3rd option – No and I can only see a few reasons why it would last that way. I say this because no, it is not normal. But, I think that if it has something to do with a person’s sin or negligence or being detrimentally wrong and not accepting it, forgiveness is not in order. Is it something that you can compromise on? Or is it a serious matter that to come to an agreement would be non-beneficial? But even if you can’t do anything about it, “fighting” doesn’t often solve the problem… say your peace and move on. Rehashing the point often is circular and not beneficial.
Depends on what “fight” means. If it means being hurt, offended, calling names, or anything like that, then the answer is Emphatic No.
If it means having a disagreement, well, I can see a “handful of reasons” justifying a prolonged disagreement. But, it’s possible to disagree without being disagreeable–even when the *other* person is determined to be disagreeable.
Clear as mud, as usual. ;)
