Why do we keep having the same arguments even when we try to "meet each other’s needs"?
Why does it feel like my wife wants more from me than I have to give—and I’m the one being blamed?In Part 5 of this powerful series, we expose one of the most destructive myths in modern relationships: the “needs-fulfillment” mindset.

Instead, Maurice introduces a radical shift: The Marriage Investment Model—a consecration-based approach inspired by early pioneers.

What to do when both of you are exhausted and feel like giving up
