Ron & Deb DeArmond Warn Couples, “Don’t Go to Bed Angry” By Micayla Greathouse Released this summer, Don’t Go to Bed Angry by Ron and Deb DeArmond, gives insight to couples on knowing how to “fight fair.” At some point in life, everyone has conflict. The DeArmonds suggest that conflict is not the problem, rather it is the way that people deal with the conflict. Don’t Go to Bed Angry will not only help couples solve problems, but also has the potential to strengthen marriages through discovery and better understanding of the feelings and perspectives of each person. The book gives biblical wisdom, relatable examples, and personal stories to help couples deal with conflict and discover more about healthy marriages. In this interview with FFFM, Ron and Deb DeArmond share a little more of their background and some in-depth thoughts behind the ideas in their book. What prompted you to write this book? Conflict in marriage is inevitable. And very few of us come to the altar knowing how to do it well. Conflict is not the real problem. It’s how we deal with it that makes it a problem.
