Crazy Cycle Question and Answer

Play Arrow
Watch Intro Video

Emerson explores the dynamics of marital conflict through his concept of the "Crazy Cycle," also responding to participant's questions. This webinar is for couples seeking to understand how mutual feelings of disrespect and lack of love can escalate tensions, and learn practical strategies to break this cycle, fostering a healthier, more loving relationship.

In marriage, it’s easy to get caught in what I call the Crazy Cycle:

"Without love, she reacts without respect, and without respect, he reacts without love."

But here’s the good news—there’s a way out!

Whether you’re wondering:

  • “How do I break the cycle when I feel unloved or disrespected?”
  • “Why does my spouse react this way, and how can I respond better?”
  • “Is it possible to rebuild trust and connection when the cycle has gone on for years?”

I’ll guide you through ways to reframe your perspective, break free from destructive patterns, and find hope in your marriage. God’s heart is for your marriage.

Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D.
Author, Speaker, Pastor
