So many marriages stay stuck even when both partners desperately want connection. Learn the surprising shift from demanding understanding to offering it first that can transform conflict into deeper love and respect.

Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D.

Author, Speaker, Pastor

Questions to Consider

What if the very thing keeping your marriage stuck is your insistence on being understood first?
How might your spouse's "unloving" or "disrespectful" behavior actually be a clumsy cry for connection rather than an attack?
In what areas of your relationship are you still waiting for your spouse to change before you choose to understand them?
If mutual understanding creates safety and peace, what small step could you take today to become the first to offer it?

Why Do Goodwilled Wives Feel Frustrated?

This week Emerson and Jonathan look at the behavior of a husband who bullies. There are many things that hurt and frustrate wives but there is a type of female who emails Emerson with this complaint: "I must stuff my feelings, keep my mouth shut, and do as he says." While some wives who write this type of email may be overreacting or misrepresenting the facts, despotic husbands exist who roar commands at their good willed wives. Their excessive and unloving decrees leave their wives feeling hurt, frustrated, confused, and worthless. Join Emerson and Jonathan as they discuss this topic.
