Book Review : Title - Love & Respect -The Love She Most Desires, The Respect He Desperately Needs by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

“However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”
Ephesians 5:33 ESV

Excerpts from the Introduction of the book:

This book is about how the wife can fulfil her need to be loved by giving her husband what he needs – respect. Here is the story of one couple who discovered the Love and Respect message just in time: ‘My husband and I attended your Love and Respect marriage conference. The truths God has revealed to you are both simple and profound… They started a healing process and revolutionized our marriage. If only we had been given this information thirty years ago, what heart and pain it would have saved us.’

What can happen when a husband and wife take a different approach to their marriage relationship? Do you want some peace? Do you want to feel close to your spouse? Do you want to feel understood? Do you want to experience marriage the way God intended? Then try some Love and Respect!

This book is for everyone: people in marital crisis … spouses headed for divorce … husbands and wives in a second marriage … people wanting to stay happily married … spouses married to unbelievers … divorcees trying to heal … lonely wives … browbeaten husbands … spouses in affairs … victims of affairs … engaged couples … pastors or counselors looking for material that can save marriages.

Ironically, the deepest need of the wife – to feel loved – is undermined by her disrespect. As one wife wrote:
“I wanted to let you know, I GOT IT! God granted me the power of this revelation of respecting my husband. … This revelation … has changed everything in my marriage – my approach, my response, my relationship to God and my husband. It was the missing piece.”
