About this ebook

In marriage, ignorance is not bliss. It's frustrating. Especially when the couple feels as if they've tried everything but nothing has changed. They have goodwill toward each other and want mutual satisfaction, but they feel stuck in a cycle of repeating the same arguments and enduring the same frustrations. They long for something to change for the better but feel in the dark about how.

What these couples need are "lightbulb moments"—breakthrough realizations that will change their relationship forever. In this video-based Bible study and workbook, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs—New York Times bestselling author of Love & Respect—draws on his twenty-five years of experience to reveal twelve powerful truths that will lead couples to such moments. They will discover:

  • Each person in the marriage is not wrong, just a different shade of right, which will offer a new lens for resolving recurring conflict that many couples overlook;
  • Their response is their responsibility, which will call them to a new understanding for what frees and empowers them to influence their spouse;
  • The goal is mutual understanding, which reframes and clarifies what couples really need when they are attempting to be heard;
  • Motivating is better than manipulating, which offers powerful insights into what energizes the heart of their spouse and what silently shuts it down; and
  • Follow the Holy Word rather than Hollywood, which provides a surprising realization about the "script" they follow and whether their expectations are shaped by real love or reel love.

Perfect for every couple—from newlyweds to those decades in—this study offers biblically-based and practically-minded truths that will stick with couples and aid in their experience of making breakthroughs.

This study guide includes:

  • Individual access to streaming video sessions
  • Video notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion time
  • Personal study for deeper reflection between sessions
