Check out the Gottman's. www.gottman.com We are watching their videos and also just ordered the at home DVD set. My husband and I will study the Scriptures at home and not rely on someone else's interpretation of what the ancient Hebrew and Greek say about marriage and relationships. I hope this helps YOU!
Yes, even when someone else blames you for "making" them respond in a certain way (classic behavior in perpetrators of omestic violence). Dr. Emerson speaks the truth: The only behavior you can change is your own.
My wife and I are on our 2nd run through of the L&R dvd's.....God has blessed this man to be able to teach God's commands when it comes to men and women. God Bless you
Ok this was an interesting teaching. I loved how he gave the example of Sarah not locking the door or turning on the security system. However, I missed what the solution was. How did he successfully deal with it in the context of "My Response is My Responsibility"? So what would have been the better response to that situation? I can see not yelling and not being mean. I'm wondering what the tone of voice and responsible reaction would look and sound like in this situation? Any ideas?
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.
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?
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.)
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.
Thank you
My Response is my responsibility. Thank you sir
It would be awesome to see drama teams doing skits demonstrating HOW to react to these stressful situations in a loving and responsible manner.
