Identifying Negative Strangleholds in Your Relationships

Focus On The Family

Monday, August 10, 2026 - 27 minutes

Dave and Ashley Willis explain the importance of having shalom in your home, and define the word shalom as “breaking the hold of chaos.” They encourage couples to manage conflict deliberately and carefully. They also explain why it’s important to break any “stranglehold relationships” – friends that become too needy -- that might impact your home life.
