THE END OF THE SAME FIGHT
A funny, practical marriage book for couples who are tired of having the same fight, from the most different couple the NEXUS has ever measured.
You know the fight. Maybe it's the dishwasher. Maybe it's the thermostat. Maybe it's the tone somebody used about the dishwasher. Different day, same fight, and somehow it always ends in the same place.
Here's what nobody tells you. You're not really fighting about the dishes. You're two people wired completely differently, trying to run one life, and nobody ever showed you how your designs fit together.
Chris Behnke and his wife, Prudence, know this better than most. As of this writing, they're the most different pair ever to take the NEXUS Profile, and they've been married almost three decades. In The End of the Same Fight, Chris shares the six strategies that got them here, with honest stories and more humor than a marriage book probably should have.
You'll learn:
Why the same fight keeps coming back, and what's underneath it
Pause, Pivot, Advance: a three-word tool that stops a fight before it crosses the line
How to face the fears that hijack hard conversations
How to rebuild emotional and physical connection
A simple rhythm, five minutes a night and twenty minutes a week, that keeps you on course
How to build a future you're both excited about
Every chapter ends with questions and an activity you can do together tonight, plus a version for when only one of you is ready. It also includes printable tools and a free Marriage Alignment Check to see where your marriage stands.
This isn't couples therapy. But whether you're newly married, decades in, or quietly wondering if you need a counselor, it's a practical place to start.
