I had a similar quarrel with our church today. The sermon was on “how to fight fair,” and focused on Ephesians 4 regarding good conflict resolution principles. But though the pastor gave one swift mention at the beginning of the sermon that these were good principles for all relationships, he spent the entire rest of the sermon focusing on how to get along with your spouse. It would have been easy to put in a few examples on “fair fighting” with your parents, your friends, etc– but everything was about the marriage relationship. I found myself wondering how it would sound to me if I were single. I suspect I would feel ignored.
