Married 53 years and still teaching the same message that changed their own marriage 25 years ago. Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife Sarah join Ken to unpack the Love and Respect message from Ephesians 5:33 and why it keeps working for couples decade after decade. In this episode, Emerson and Sarah open up about: The Crazy Cycle, the Energizing Cycle, and the Rewarded Cycle, and how to move off the one that keeps couples stuck Why women can be three to four conversations away from feeling like walking away, and what that means for how men should show up Choosing to love and respect your spouse as an act of obedience to Christ, not as a trade for their behavior Why long hours can feel like provision to a high performing entrepreneur but feel like absence to their spouse The line that stops most leaders in their tracks: show me your checkbook and show me your calendar, and I'll tell you what you value What real fulfillment looks like after 25 years of ministry and 53 years of marriage Their new children's book project and where to find their resources This one is honest, practical, and full of wisdom for anyone building a business and a marriage at the same time.
