Why Do Some Couples Spin On The Crazy Cycle More Than Others?
.svg)
Emerson discusses the concept of The Crazy Cycle in marriage, which is based on Ephesians 5:33. He explores the factors that contribute to couples spinning on the Crazy Cycle, including the need for closeness, openness, understanding, peacemaking, loyalty, and esteem for wives, and the need for conquest, hierarchy, authority, insights, shoulder-to-shoulder relationship, and sexuality for husbands. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and fulfilling these needs to avoid negative reactions and maintain a healthy relationship. He explains that husbands are commanded to love unconditionally, while wives are commanded to show unconditional respect.
