The Fight for Us: Overcome What Divides to Build a Marriage That Thrives (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780310365440)

An insightful, powerful path forward for couples, whether you're in a struggling marriage or simply looking for ways to enhance and strengthen your relationship.

Marriage is hard for all kinds of reasons--financial struggles, parenting styles, personality differences, difficult circumstances. It's easy to drift apart, walking through life more as roommates than partners. But there's so much more for your marriage. The Fight for Us offers biblical wisdom and encouragement, as well as practical guidance, that will give you the confidence you need to cultivate the happy and healthy marriage you long for.

Rebekah and Gabe Lyons shepherd you as ones who have been there--many times--in their twenty-seven-year marriage, while also drawing on their mental-health coaching and marriage-counseling expertise to help you breathe new life into your marriage. The Fight for Us will guide you to:

• Discover why you fight, how you fight, and how to overcome toxic patterns to fight well
• Renew your commitment to love, care for, and show grace to your spouse
• Relinquish coping mechanisms and/or addictions that have come between you
• Understand your spouse's needs while still validating your own
• Establish goals and rhythms that will deepen your friendship and intimacy as a couple
• And, most of all, lean on the One who fights for you and your marriage

Whatever your reason for fighting for your marriage, The Fight for Us covers it all: community, health, money, parenting, career, sex, conflict, and spirituality. Your journey toward a growing, healthy, thriving marriage starts here.
