The Journal for Us: 10 Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have

In this journal, which can be read alongside The Fight for Us, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons help you improve intimacy, connection, and understanding in your marriage by guiding you through the ten most important conversations every couple needs to have. It's normal for couples to experience tension in everyday encounters but not always get to the root of why they feel so disconnected, which can lead to unnecessary hurt on both sides.

In The Journal for Us, Rebekah and Gabe offer biblical wisdom and encouragement, as well as practical guidance on how to reflect, process, and discuss your relationship with your spouse in ways that make your marriage stronger.

With guided direction, inspiring quotes, thoughtful reflection questions, and plenty of writing space, you and your spouse will learn to communicate and work through the critical conversations every couple must navigate to enjoy a healthy marriage. From topics like your deepest longings and childhood experiences to sex, money, health, careers, parenting, conflict, and faith, you will realize that you are not alone in charting the course for how your marriage will remain resilient under pressure.

Through this journal experience, you'll be given the tools you need to:

• Deepen your friendship and intimacy as a couple
• Understand why you fight, how you fight, and what you fight about so you can learn to fight for what matters most
• Learn how God designed you to function both individually and as a couple
• Reflect before you talk, start the conversation, and discover each other's perspectives
• Set goals and rhythms that help you to effectively communicate your needs and listen with understanding
• Learn how to move forward in unity

Your marriage is worth fighting for. But sometimes you can't see anything past the strain and struggle. Don't lose hope! Use this journal as the powerful resource it is to help you and your spouse move toward the stronger, deeper marriage you've been longing for. When you learn to fight for what matters most, you will thrive—not just survive—in your marriage.
