Join Emerson, Jonathan, and their first guest, Joy Eggerichs Reed, on this week's episode as they discuss what it’s like and what we can do when we are overlooked, when we go unpicked, or our efforts go unrecognized.
In marriage, recurring conflicts often lead to emotional shutdowns and hardened hearts, resulting in a “crazy cycle” of unloving and disrespectful reactions. Emerson continues the discussion in part 3, revealing how, despite our natural defensive tendencies, adopting a heart of love and respect—as Jesus taught—can heal these rifts and restore connection.
In this episode, Emerson discusses the importance of prioritizing theology over therapy in understanding marriage and relationships. He shares his journey of studying male and female differences, emphasizing the need for a biblical foundation in counseling.
Emerson and Jonathan discuss how misinterpretations can lead to overreactions in marriage. They explore various examples where spouses misinterpret each other's actions and intentions, causing unnecessary conflict.
Why is marital paradise lost? Why do couples feel they have left Eden and live in a jungle of sorts? Since Scripture indicates couples will have trouble in this life why are husbands and wives unprepared? The answer is simple: they do not anticipate and accept the four seasons. In one way or another all couples will go through the four seasons. Those who go through them without defeat do so because they anticipate and accept the process. Join Emerson and Jonathan for Part I of this three part series.
