"We inherit patterns from generations before us—cycles of silence, anger, and misunderstanding. But every cycle can be broken. When we learn to listen, to speak with truth, and to give each other grace, we don’t just change our relationships—we change the future for our children and their children after them."
In In His Defense, Dr. Marshall Thompson Jr. challenges the narrative that men are always to blame when relationships fall apart. With clinical insight, personal honesty, and a faith-centered perspective, he equips both men and women to:
Break free from unhealthy cycles.
Communicate with more compassion and clarity.
Heal generational patterns and build lasting connection.
This isn’t about blame—it’s about balance. Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between, this book gives you the tools to stop the blame game and start building the relationship you deserve.
