About this listen
Read by the authors.
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.
Reflection questions can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Life is hard for all kinds of reasons. It's tempting to try to move past the pain as quickly as possible. Instead, what if we embraced our struggles to develop the strength of resilience not dependent on circumstances? Writing as a friend who has also walked through difficult times, Rebekah Lyons—the bestselling author of Rhythms of Renewal and the popular host of the Rhythms for Life podcast—reminds us of adversity that always comes with a choice: will discouragement, stress, and fear cause you to crumble, or will you embrace the strength you've already been given?

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.
