Difficult to accept, but if you do it might do miracles to your relationship

Im not married, but am having problems with showing respect to my boyfriend due to the bad relationship with my father and my parents' unhappy marriage. This is why the principles in the book are so hard for me to accept even though Im a Christian. But I feel that if you do use them in your relationship it will definitely be stronger and more loving. I keep praying to God for the healing of my heart and passed the book to a friend who has problems in her marriage. I recommend it to everyone!

Love and Respect: The Love she most desires, the respect he desperately needs. This was my third book from Thomas Nelson and I have to say the best one yet. The basic premise of the book is that in marriage the woman needs to know that she is loved and the man needs to know that he is respected. Problems start to arise when either marriage partner doubt this is the case. The author recognises the vast numbers of books on marriage out there but says this one is crucially different as it specifically tries to understand and apply Ephesians 5v33; `However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband'.
The book charts how this goes wrong, how men and women react to situations and what they hear from each other and Eggerichs offers a plethora of examples to show that it always comes back to love and respect. He then spends a good length of time practically going through what this will mean for men and then for women and finally the end results if you can order your marriage around love and respect.
I always feel slightly torn on books about marriage. There are so many of them, do they all say the same things in a different way? Do they employ popular psychology that I am cynical about - I'm not sure? I think you either are the type of couple who would read this and find it helpful or just not bother at all. I found it helpful in parts if not slightly long winded. I appreciated that the majority of what he said had a biblical basis and I think if I did practice some of the principles laid out in the book my marriage would be better - so I guess that's the ultimate review! For my progress check out [...]

This an excellent book that enables husbands and wives to give and receive what they need from the relationship. Marriage is not easy, especially learning to love and respect eachother, and this book is a great tool for developing the skills to do just that and save marriages.

I found this book through recommendation by [...] and promptiong by God. It really came at the right time. I can't say wether it saved my marriage or not but the day it arrived he was ready to leave I went and started to read the book and he stayed. It is fantastic, such simple reasoning that help you chose to turn your marriage around. I am going to be lending this copy out to so many of my friends. Or I may even buy them their own. It talks about the differences in communication between men and women and their needs within a marriage. Buy it, read it, see the difference.

Thank you Emerson for writing this book. After almost 10 years of marriage and constant fighting and hate; this book was the answer to my fasting and prayers and tears. Bottom line is, I had no respect for my husband and treated him like he was an alien. My lack of respect and utter comtempt for my husband came from a reaction to his behaviour which in turn lead us onto the crazy circle, which simply spun out of control - divorce or suicide (murder was out of the question) seemed to be the only options left ...That was until God led me to this book .. it was as if I had finally been forgiven ....Its about three months since I bought this book and read it and I can tell you all that my husband and I have not had ONE quarell since ..... unbelievable. Has he changed ... yes and no. He still is who he is, with his annoying habits and personality, but all I do is keep my big mouth shut and then when I've calmed myself down; I speak respectfully to him and then I see the other side of him .. the side I never let out .. perhaps the side I feel in love with ... finally come out ... he is a good man and I am ashamed of myself ... I have been the evil evil wife ... and I didnt even know. I was just killing this man with no idea ... Now we are slowly rebuilding our relationship .. sometimes he is loving and it is worth it. I have read all the hundreds of reviews on amazon.com (there are more reviews there) about this book and not ONE; even the most negative ones, say that a man does not need respect. Women, men need this thing called respect, even if we dont get it, even if it annoys us - it doesnt matter ... they really need to be respected . full stop ... never shout (back) at your man. Thank you Emerson, may God bless you and your family.

In this religiously based approach to marriage counseling, Dr. Eggerichs provides insights into breaking deteriorating cycles that destroy marriages. In its simplest form, Dr. Eggerichs explains that men need to feel respect and women need to feel love in order for a healthy marriage to grow and flourish. Through three separate cycles labeled as: "Crazy", "Energizing", and "Rewarded", couples are able to look and see what are the underlying reasons which keep their relationship from being a harmonious one.
Another relationship book that I highly recommend is "How To Create A Magical Relationship" written by Ariel and Shya Kane. The Kanes' book is a masterpiece in providing practical insights in creating and maintaining loving, fun and satisfying relationships, not only with your spouse but with yourself as well. The Kanes also wrote "Working On Yourself Doesn't Work" which is my favorite guide to living in the moment. In reading both of these books my life became far less stressful and miraculous relationships became the norm.
