Everybody fights – sometimes about the little things, sometimes the big. We miss each others signals, and have trouble communicating. Why not get better at it? This book will teach you how to fight better, and you’ll end arguments feeling closer, more loved, and better understood by your partner. Marriage is worth fighting for, and this is a marriage book that everyone needs to read!
“Yes, it takes vigilance and willingness to try and try again, but loving your person should never be a chore… Marriage is work. But keeping up on the maintenance is worth it”
You’ve probably seen Kim and Penn’s funny videos on YouTube (The Holderness Family), below is a trailer for their first-ever book release! This book is not only educational, but will keep you laughing. Until this point, I’ve never read a marriage book that was both helpful and fun, but somehow they did it!
This book didn’t have a lot of scripture in it, but was packed with biblical truths. I think this book would be helpful not only for couples who are married, but even for those who are not. I can see myself using this advice with my children. They are always fighting. Maybe that will be their next book! 😉
Book Description:
A USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller
Learn how to fight better and end arguments feeling closer, more loved, and better understood by your partner.
We take our cars in for oil changes. We mow our lawns and pull weeds. Why don’t we do maintenance on our marriages? This relationship is the most important one we will ever have, so why not get better at it?
For the last several years, Penn and Kim Holderness of The Holderness Family have done the hard maintenance and the research to learn how to fight better. With the help of their marriage coach Dr. Christopher Edmonston, they break down their biggest (and in some cases, funniest) fights. How did a question about chicken wings turn into a bra fight (no, not a bar fight; a bra fight)? How did a roll of toilet paper lead to tears, resentment, and a stint in the guest bedroom?
With their trademark sense of humor and complete vulnerability, Penn and Kim share their ten most common Fight Fails and how to combat them. Throughout the book, they offer scripts for how to start, continue, and wrap up hard conversations. Couples will emerge equipped to engage and understand, not do battle—and maybe laugh a little more along the way.
In Everybody Fights, couples will learn how to
use “magic words” to navigate conflict
break free of secret contracts
banish the three Ds—distraction, denial, and delay
carry their own individual baggage while helping each other deal with theirs
Penn and Kim want you to know you’re not alone. Everybody fights. Marriage is messy. Marriage is work. But marriage is worth it. Fight for it.
