About this listen
A USA Today and Wall Street Journal best seller!
Learn how to fight better and end your arguments with your partner feeling closer, more loved, and better understood.
We take our cars in for oil changes. We mow our lawns and pull weeds. Why don’t we do maintenance on our marriages? This relationship is the most important one we will ever have, so why not get better at it?
For the last several years, Penn and Kim Holderness of The Holderness Family have done the hard maintenance and the research to learn how to fight better. With the help of their marriage coach Dr. Christopher Edmonston, they break down their biggest (and in some cases, funniest) fights. How did a question about chicken wings turn into a bra fight (no, not a bar fight; a bra fight)? How did a roll of toilet paper lead to tears, resentment, and a stint in the guest bedroom?
With their trademark sense of humor and complete vulnerability, Penn and Kim share their 10 most common Fight Fails and how to combat them. Throughout the book, they offer scripts for how to start, continue, and successfully close hard conversations. Couples will emerge equipped to engage and understand, not do battle - and maybe laugh a little more along the way.
In Everybody Fights, couples will learn how to:
- Use “magic words” for healthy conflict resolution
- Address unspoken and unrealistic expectations
- Banish the three Ds of unhealthy communication - distraction, denial, and delay
- Carry individual baggage while helping your partner deal with theirs
Penn and Kim want you to know you’re not alone. Everybody fights. Marriage is messy. Marriage is work. But marriage is worth it. Fight for it!

Most of us have heard of gluten - a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin.

Story
Most people know Dave Ramsey as the guy who did stupid with a lot of zeros on the end. He made his first million in his twenties—the wrong way—and then went bankrupt. That’s when he set out to learn what God had to say about managing money and building wealth. As a result, Dave developed the Ramsey Baby Steps and became a millionaire again—this time the right way. After three decades of guiding millions of others through the plan, the evidence is undeniable: the Baby Steps not only work for everyone, but they’re proven to work fast.

So valuable for couples!
There are a lot of relationship books out there, but this the only one you need. In today's world, it was so refreshing to hear real and current situations read by both a husband and wife. Kim and Penn are honest, loving and you can tell that they care not just about each other, but about their readers. This book was a joy to listen to with their add-ins as well. Thank you!!

Je recommande!
J'ai écouté ce livre sur une période d'environ 4 semaines, en faisant mes tâches ménagères entre autres. Chaque moment passé sur ce livre a eu soit l'effet de me faire sourire car les narrateurs sont attachants, soit de me permettre de mieux me comprendre et comprendre ma partenaire. J'ai beaucoup lu sur l'intelligence émotionnelle mais le fait d'avoir droit à de vrais exemples permet une meilleure perspective et plusieurs des trucs partagés dans ce livre méritent d'être pratiqués encore et encore jusqu’à perfectionnement, car ils fonctionnent! Merci à vous deux pour ce bel ouvrage, je suis aussi fier de vous! - Man Lemire
