In this program, Chip stresses the devastating impact unresolved conflict has on a marriage.
Every marriage will eventually face struggles and arguments over four key areas:
- Roles
- In-laws
- Money
- Sex
Fighting lies with truth
Lie #9:
- Getting help for our marriage from a counselor or a mentor is for losers. We should be able to figure this out on our own, and besides, we don’t want to broadcast our problems.
The truth:
- Every great athlete, artist, and business executive knows the value of a COACH. We all get stuck on occasion and need help to work through the issues we can’t see for ourselves.
Key verse:
- 1 Peter 5:5
Lie #10 (for women):
- All he cares about is work and sports. I feel like I’m left to do all the work of raising our kids and taking care of our home. I wonder sometimes if he even cares.
The truth:
- Men default to areas where they feel confident. Your husband has fears and insecurities about being a SPIRITUAL LEADER and EFFECTIVE FATHER. Criticism and disrespect will heighten those fears and push him away.
Key verse:
- 1 Peter 3:1-2
Lie #11 (for men):
- All my wife cares about is the kids and the calendar. Our sex life is on life support because she’s always tired or making excuses. Sometimes I wonder if she even cares.
The truth:
- Women default to areas where they feel confident. Your wife has fears and insecurities about her VALUE, IDENTITY, and physical ATTRACTIVENESS. Sarcasm about sex, her looks, or her preoccupation with the kids will only reinforce her feelings of inadequacy.
Key verse:
- Ephesians 5:28-29
