"Fight for Us" is a great book for couples to read together. I love that it's written by men, for men & women. So many marriage books these days are geared toward women & this one is really written for couples, men, or women.. not specifically one or the other. I feel like men will be more likely to read it with their wives as they can relate more.

The author has a military & MMA fighting background & refers to his experiences to relate the things he's learned. He broke the book up into 5 parts...kind of like the 5 rounds in MMA fighting.

The book includes questions to discuss with your spouse/partner, Bible verses to look up, applications to our lives & more. Key marriage principles will strengthen marriages & relationships.

The author is real & doesn't hold back. I appreciate his authenticity and real-life examples.

I look forward to going through the book again with my spouse & will be buying copies for my newly married kids.

(I was able to preview this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Thank you Netgalley & Nelson books.)

Started this book on and off last in 2021. I finally grabbed the e-book, and finished the book out with a follow-up, Jocko Podcast 375. To read about the experiences and relate or have experienced what Chad went through has made me believe that I am not totally damaged alone. You never know what someone is going through, whether they can speak to it or not. There are some answers you won’t get, but maybe one day you will need to hear what you need to hear. To heal myself I decided to push my pride/ego/esteem aside and working on your personal issues. Reading this book has helped me on my journey realize that I went through so much without and absorbed all things without really sorting and filtering. I have become a site wreckage and helped ruin my personal relationships. Now that I am here and sort of doing better, I thank people like Chad who took the time to develop books like this. I am lonely but I am not the same being I once was. #stayintegratedmyfriends

It took one anguished question. Certainly, Chad Robichaux had fought manifold battles for his country as a special forces marine and as a mixed martial arts champion; however, this crucial question steered him on the worthwhile quest to combat for his own survival, for the survival a hitherto crumbling marriage, and for the survival of his family’s harmony. When his wife Kathy posed that heartfelt and agonizing question, “Why don’t you fight for us?” she unwittingly unleased a powerful reservoir in her husband’s soul that led them both down a path of healing, reconciliation, and flourishing as individuals and as a couple. Fascinating, thought-provoking, and insightful, ‘Fight For Us’ provides a comprehensive battle plan for any husband and wife to join forces in striving to preserve and grow their marital covenant. Throughout the book, references to God and Christianity abound as the potent motivational force to continue the worthwhile combat against individual selfishness and pride and as a source of higher strength and power to put the other spouse first. If your marriage or the marriage of someone you know is in anguish and appears beyond all saving, dare to ask the question, “Will I regret not having learned the battle plan this fantastic book has to offer?”
A few other thoughts: I loved the high quality, professionally designed, and visually aesthetic hardcover edition. I found the book easy to read and ripe with anecdotal and specialized wisdom. The fight for ‘your’ marriage is divided into five doable rounds packed with insightful tips and practical questions.

A husband and wife may not agree on everything, but there is one thing they absolutely must agree on, always, and that is to never give up and fight for each other to the very end of their lives.

FIGHT FOR US
Marriage isn’t easy, but it is worth the fight! If you are in a dark season in your marriage and are battling for it to survive – then I highly recommend reading this book together as a couple. Former US Force Recon Marine who did eight tours in Afghanistan wrote a book to encourage couples not to grow weary and help couples fight for their marriage. It has ten chapters with a discussion, affirmation, and action to help your marriage be the best it can be – grounded in Jesus. This book does a great job of teaching couples how to fight for a Godly marriage using the “five rounds” of fighting necessary for the battle for any marriage.

I have received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. #fightforusbook

Very good book for a couple to return to their faith together. I appreciated the perspective of a military/first responder dynamic, with PTSD and family of origin issues by both parties.

Good book! It was interesting to hear the author talk about his story coming from war and transitioning back to his family.

God bless our troops and their sacrifice! 🇺🇸
