Most couples don’t wake up thinking: “How can I frustrate my spouse today?”

And yet we still end up in the same exhausting cycle.

She feels unloved.
He feels disrespected.
She pushes harder.
He shuts down.

Round and round it goes.

Today Dr. Emerson Eggerichs—author of Love & Respect—joins Jerrad to unpack the marriage dynamic he calls “The Crazy Cycle.”

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why 85% of men shut down during conflict

• The misunderstanding that fuels most marriage fights
• How porn quietly reshapes a man’s expectations in marriage
• Why wives often escalate conflict while husbands withdraw
• How dads can speak identity into their sons and daughters
• Why struggling marriages don’t need more effort — they need more light
