Yes danny, and I know you said this a year ago... but I hope this still helps.

Knowing your doing wrong... is half the battle.

I hope you understand that.

Most people just go on ignorantly and don't wish to learn to do better--welcome to the world.

The point is to MAKE it known daily and reminded in your daily life until it's become a part of your life, and that's how you change.

And yes, it will take time... a lot of it, but it's worth it in the end... God has changed my fiance and I so much

Any marriage can benefit from this course!! I credit Dr Eggerrichs course for saving mine! You owe it to yourself and your husband or wife to sit down and watch these as a Christian or someone seeking the truth.

Fantastic video! Such a good, practical reminder! I've always said, you will not be judged for what others do to you, you will only be judged for how you choose to respond.

"My response is my responsibility"--I'm gonna have to remember that one! O:)

(Interesting when you apply that line of thinking to calvinist vs. free will theology, too, haha.)

This is a wonder tool to saving marriages, I have used this with my husband now for several years now. And we have become closer together then I would have ever hoped.

People comment on this fact all the time. I highly recommend the book Love and Respect.

What I'm not sold on is that knowledge equals changed desire and actions. Knowing that drugs are bad for you doesn't mean you'll choose to stop taking them. In the same way, just because I know that my response is my responsibility, doesn't mean that I will choose my responsibility and differently than before I knew this. Does that make sense?

[ProvenWorlds]

Well yes, you gain insight and then you have to put it into practice. I'm not understanding completely what you are "not sold on"

[dannyhouk]

I believe the principle is true, that experiences and other people reveal our nature rather than cause us to respond the way we do. The only thing I'm not sold on, is that to be any different people merely "choose" better. Just because someone gains this insight that's talked about in the video, doesn't automatically lead to a changed will.

I heard him speak back when he was a paster at East Lansing Trinity. When I heard this it changed my life forever. It is continues to change my life.
