In this episode, Emerson discusses the importance of viewing your spouse as an ally rather than an enemy in marriage. He shares examples of couples who have fallen into the trap of treating each other as foes instead of friends. He emphasizes the need to attack the issue, not the person, and to communicate needs without blame.

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

Questions to Consider

  1. How can I actively remind myself that my spouse is my ally, not my adversary, during moments of conflict?
  2. In what ways can I ensure that I attack the issue at hand without making my spouse feel devalued or disapproved?
  3. How do I respond when I feel wronged, and how can I cultivate a spirit of forgiveness to maintain our relationship?
  4. What practical steps can I take to reinforce the perspective of partnership and teamwork in our marriage, even during disagreements?
