"I've been married 35 years and have not heard this taught." "This is the key that I have been missing." "A lightbulb moment." "You connected all the dots for me." "As a counselor, I have never been so excited about any material." "You're on to something huge here."
A Simple Message
A wife has one driving need -- to feel loved. When that need is met, she is happy. A husband has one driving need -- to feel respected. When that need is met, he is happy.
When either of these needs isn't met, things get crazy. "Love and Respect" reveals why spouses react negatively to each other, and how they can deal with such conflict quickly, easily and biblically.
A Message That Works
Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife, Sarah, have already taken the "Love and Respect" message across America and are changing the way couples talk to, think about, and treat each other.
What do you want for your marriage? Want some peace? Want to feel close? Want to feel valued? Want to experience marriage the way God intended? Then why not try some "Love and Respect."

Great Advice I'm a beliver, but do not attend church regularly and have a pretty easy-going view of religion generally. Someone gave this to us as a wedding gift and I was very skeptical. I picked it up a few nights ago and just started looking at it for the first time (we've been married 4 months) and then I couldn't put it down. I stayed up all night and read it cover to cover. I did feel like he was speaking just to me, and that he had somehow overheard our arguments and fights b/c he was giving examples that were... more info
Eggerichs Offers Solid Contribution to Marital Relationship Books I wasn't too sure what to expect, when I first picked this book up, as "Christian" relationship books run a wide gamut concerning what they teach. Some are heavy on Scripture with few psychological insights while others are more psychology-based with a few Bible verses thrown in almost as an afterthought. I must say, though, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Eggerichs' book did a good job of presenting a Biblically-based view of marriage backed with key insights he learned while practicing family... more info
Take it with a grain of salt... I am a Christian woman who constantly looks for books on how to keep my marriage healthy and loving. I found this book a bit irritating and could not read through a single chapter completely. In my opinion, it is geared more toward men and what they "deserve" in a marriage, rather than a balanced look at how both men AND women should act in a godly marriage. I wouldn't recommend it, although I did see a few good pointers in the midst of rolling my eyes.
A Book that offers a real solution! When I first read this book I was hesitant. I had the feeling the author was on the man's side and telling us women to show some respect then we'll get love. But I gave it a chance and found that he was fair. He gives both husband and wife their responsibility to give to the other unconditionally. We've been married for 8 years and the book revealed to me what we have been getting wrong. Not every book is for everyone. But this book was definitely for me. It's worth giving it a chance.
