SummaryA Marriage Book with a Difference! A Revolutionary Message "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." |

Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs Published by Thomas Nelson
Marriage isn't easy. Many people struggle with it. That would explain the abundance of books written on improving your marriage and how to be a better spouse. Dr. Eggerichs claims that his theory is different than those already out there. He says that many of them focus on love, but that something is more important to men than love; that would be respect. He proposes that while women need to feel loved, men need to feel respected. He gives many examples from his many years of counseling and lecturing experience. He also gives practical suggestions to men and women on how they can address this need within their relationships. This book does not exclude the need for men to love their wives and he helps men to see what sort of things fill their wives up.
I admit, I thought the first section was long and a bit repetitive. Overall, the book is well written and I believe the advice is well given. I personally do not know anyone who has implemented this theory in their marriage relationship, but would be interested to talk with those who have made it work. Writing on marriage is a very tricky thing as there are so many variables. The advice given is food for thought, but applying it, of course, does not guarantee results.

Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs
Rating:
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs' book on marriage, Love and Respect, is based on one primary thought: she desires unconditional love above all else, and he desires unconditional respect. Whenever that desire is unmet, we typically respond by withholding the very thing our spouse desires most. Dr. Eggerichs calls this The CRAZY Cyle.
He writes that the only way that a couple can get off of that CRAZY Cycle is by someone choosing to show that which their spouse desires most without condition. The idea is that no spouse acts maliciously with mean intentions, but rather we spend out entire marriages reacting and responding to one another.
What if we chose to give our loved one what they desire most regardless of their actions toward us?
I thought this book had a lot of really good ideas and suggestions for how to treat our spouse, even if the book seemed a little wordy.
Ultimately, I thought this was a very good book, and would recommend to anyone with a desire to get off of the CRAZY Cycle of merely responding to their spouse, but wanting to take the initiative and build a stronger marriage.
This book was reviewed as part of the Book Review Blogging Program with Thomas Nelson.
Love and Respect
Rating:
The book is based on Ephesians 5:33 "Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." The book was boring to read. I felt as if I was in a room listening to a bunch a PHD's talking and it was hard to hold my attention. With that said, the book was full of wonderful information for couples.
The author, Dr. Eggerichs had a lot of good advise for both husbands and wives. It would be better to read it as a couple. Men and women communicate very differently. I know that comes as a huge shock to you right??? It shouldn't, God created us this way. When husbands and wives disagree on something doesn't it sound something like this...she doesn't respect me....he doesn't love me the way....you might not say it out loud but I know many of you think it. That is just what this book covers in detail. He splits the book up for husbands and wives. I liked the fact that there is an appendix in the back of the book with a bunch of questions to ask yourself and for your spouse to as themselves. These statements will make you stop and think before you speak. So many times we do not stop and think about our words or tone while talking to our spouse.
Although this was a bit boring for me I walked away much more aware of how my husband thinks about respect. That in itself is reason enough for couples to read this. No matter how long you have been married. The next time I read this book it will defiantly be with my husband.
