Emerson and Jonathan respond to an inquiry and talk about why the key to a successful marriage is, in fact, not communication.
Though God commands the husband to love and a wife to respect, a strange twist might take place. A wife puts on respect for one reason: to get her husband to be loving. A husband puts on love solely to get his wife to respect him. One pastor wrote Emerson and shared his concerns fearing this very thing: that husbands and wives will manipulate each other when applying love and respect based on Ephesians 5:33. Join Emerson and Jonathan this weeks as they discuss this topic.
Emerson and Jonathan discuss the concept of the 'crazy cycle' in relationships, where a wife's feeling of being unloved leads to disrespectful reactions toward her husband, and vice versa.
In Part 1 of this 5 part series on forgiveness, Emerson begins by discussing the complexities of forgiveness within relationships, particularly in marriage.
Some husbands are hyper-sensitive to anything that strikes them as disrespectful. They overreact to their good willed wives who do not intend any such disrespect. Sadly, these men read disrespect into her every question, concern, or disagreement. Some husbands are just sensitive to undeserving disrespect. Though they humbly appeal to their wives to halt the rudeness toward them as men, husbands and fathers, these women claim the husbands are overly sensitive. Join Emerson and Jonathan this week as they discuss this important issue. See episode 088 to hear this topic as it pertains to wives.
