How a Wife Won Her Husband - His Testimony

Watch Intro Video

Through the testimony of a husband who engaged in online affairs, Emerson and Jonathan discuss and respond to his report that his wife facilitated the reconciliation through her words and behavior. He said, "She showed me respect when I did not deserve it."

“Living out our authentic selves at work can be one of the greatest blessings to God, to the people we work with, and to us.”

1. What statement or truth revealed in “The Win-Win Couple Protects the Other’s Vulnerabilities” most spoke to you? Why do you think that is?

2. Why can sharing your sexual or emotional vulnerabilities with your spouse be so awkward? What is one vulnerability you wish you could clearly explain to your spouse if you knew they would receive it well and happily accept the challenge to protect it?

3. What “duty” toward your spouse came to mind during this reading in which you may need to ask your spouse’s forgiveness for not meeting as Scripture calls you to? Will you do that?

Are Husbands Hyper-Sensitive or Just Highly-Sensitive to Disrespect?

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.

In Part 3 of this series on dating Emerson looks back briefly at becoming a mature person and looking for a mature person but that for Christians a third component is needed, Doing God's Will As a Couple. When we do not have a purpose beyond ourselves, we end up focusing only on ourselves. When we do not think of something bigger than ourselves, we will only think of ourselves. When nothing is more important than ourselves, than we alone are important. However, when we fight for something bigger than ourselves, we fight with each other less! That may not be the most noble of reasons to follow Christ but it certainly leads to marital satisfaction!
