by Emerson Eggerichs
Built on Ephesians 5: wives need love, husbands need respect, and the 'crazy cycle' spins when each withholds. Very popular in church settings and criticised by others for rigid gender roles. Know both before reading.

Three things you will actually use
- Without love she reacts without respect; without respect he reacts without love.
- Break the cycle by moving first.
- Decode, don't defend.
Do this first
Read the crazy cycle chapter and identify your own spin.
