Publisher's Description
Fight for Us takes couples on an inspiring journey into the challenges of battling for their marriage, through gut-wrenching times of despair, and then finally to the victory of a renewed relationship grounded in Jesus. Fight for U s delivers a compelling marriage challenge of "five rounds" that teach readers how to develop the never-give-up, never-quit mentality every relationship needs in order to combat the enemy's constant attacks. Utilizing narrative elements from the real-life story of Chad and Kathy Robichaux, readers will learn how Chad's deployments to Afghanistan as a Marine--and subsequent career as an MMA fighter--allowed him to disengage from his emotions, his marriage, and his children. Then, when his crippling PTSD brought him to brink of suicide, Kathy's pastor taught him the "five rounds" of fighting that are necessary in the battle for any marriage: Believe that God loves you and has a purpose for your life. Take responsibility for your actions. Accept that you can't change the evils that you've encountered. Access God's power. Put yourself second. At the end of the rounds, readers will discover God's design for marriage, which saved Chad and Kathy's relationship. Today, they aim to pay it forward and share what they've learned with other couples. Fight for Us features application sections, discussion prompts, affirmations, and Bible verses, all designed to help readers apply the book's key marriage principles.

“Marriage is one of the most beautiful and rewarding experiences couples can have, but it’s also one of the hardest. It takes serious commitment to make it work, no matter what. Chad and Kathy are the perfect example of ‘no matter what.’ They’ve celebrated the best of life together, but they have also struggled through things most of us can’t even begin to imagine. They’ve relied on each other—and, more importantly, their faith—to get them to the other side. Now they’re sharing everything they’ve learned with the world. I know any couple will glean something from Fight for Us, wherever they are in their marriage. It’s going to help so many relationships!”
“Never has there been a time in our country’s history to strengthen the moral fiber of marriage and relationship. There are plenty of resources out there for married couples, but few are based on the harsh realities of the real world. And few are delivered by those who have earned the right to give those insights gained through extremely difficult battles fought and won. Chad and Kathy are dear friends. They are truly helping so many couples navigate and have victories in all areas through this new book. I highly recommend it. Fight for Us is a must-read!”
“Chad and Kathy’s story is one of the most important one you will hear if you are married to a military serviceman or servicewoman. Take the testimony of this American couple and let it encourage you, strengthen you, and challenge you to fight for what matters most: each other.”
“Chad and Kathy’s story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. It is also miraculously transformational. Fight for Us is a must-read that will encourage you to fight for your family. It will strengthen your marriage and give you hope in the middle of a crisis.”

“Chad and Kathy Robichaux are dear friends and part of the WoodsEdge Church family. It has been my privilege to know them and pastor them as God transformed their lives and their marriage. It is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen. God’s hand of favor is on them and their Mighty Oaks Ministry in an unusual way. Read this book with an open heart and ask God to speak to you!”
“At a time when many consider the covenant of marriage to be outdated and unnecessary, Fight for Us points us back to God’s perfect design for healthy relationships and nurturing families. Suffering from the lingering effects of a broken home and steeped in the often toxic masculinity of both the US Marine Corps and the Octagon, Chad Robichaux is living proof that no one, and no relationship, is beyond the redemptive power of God. He gives us a practical blueprint for success that is rooted in Scripture and tested in the crucible of hard experiences. We would all do well to heed this timeless message of hope and reconciliation.”
“As a combat veteran, Navy SEAL, business leader, father, and husband, I have built my life on learning to lead myself out of hard situations and developing a relentless ‘Overcome Mindset.’ One of the most amazing things I have learned is that leadership is the same regardless of where it is applied—in life, in business, in parenting, and even in marriage! Chad and Adam have put together an amazing leadership blueprint, based on Christian foundations, that teaches you how to be a better leader in your family and marriage. Most importantly, Fight for Us teaches you how to FIGHT for your relationship in a healthy and positive way. If you are off course in your marriage, buy this book today.”
