Love & Respect (Abridged): The Love She Most Desires; the Respect He Desperately Needs Audiobook

" I whole-heartedly agree with the message, but I don't know how he turned what could have been persuasively explained in two or three paragraphs, into an entire book. "

" Even after 32 years of marriage I found great ideas on how to strengthen my marriage and how to be both a better husband and father. "

" My parents sent me this book for my b'day (last year) & it has some very solid principles for forming close, lasting relationships between spouses (as well as with others). "

" Unconditional love is necessary to sustain a healthy relationship, but so is unconditional respect. I've always thought that love was unconditional, but respect must be earned. But in marriage, this is not so. Both love and respect should be unconditional in a committed relationship. "

" I love the premise, but it could be about half as long. The author uses a ton of examples, which really helps flesh out the concepts, but once you get it, you can skip the rest of the chapter/part. "

" This book really helped me understand respect. The whole concept is great; however, the author seems to repeat himself over and over. "

" I did not like this book at all. I found it cheesy at best and sexist at worst. Sorry. "

" Very good book. A book for anyone in a relationship or someone who is in the pursuit of a relationship. A lot of good lessons to help you understand your husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend. "

" A fresh look into communicating with your spouse. "

" One of the best books on husband wife relationships ever written. "

" This is the best marriage book I have ever read. If you want to discover what is at the root of all your marriage problems, then this is the book you must read! "

" Liked this book a lot - it helped our marriage in a few ways - but it is very redundant. My husband and I often said while reading it, "Okay, we get the point!" "

" Just started in a book club with this book. Looking forward to it. "

" Everyone needs to read this one! "

" it's always good to find new ways to show love and respect to your spouse. "

" I fully recommend this book to any couple, whether they need marital help or not. This book brings to light a whole new understanding of my husband and has really helped us realize each other's needs. Even if you are not Christian I GUARANTEE you will benefit from this book! "

" Good points, but the book was a little tedious. I felt like Emerson was making the same points over and over again. "

" wow... it's not that I don't like the book, it was just too repetitive for my taste. Also, I think I'll identify more with it when we have kids and/or been married longer. "

" I didnt connect with the first part but I really liked the 2nd and 3rd part. It really surprised me in the final stage! "

" Makes a great wedding shower gift! "

" This book is quite good... highly suggested for anyone who is married. Thanks Liz :) "

" I liked the book. I have a good, maybe even great marriage, but it did show me some areas I could improve in. "

" Chris and I are starting this book together and have read a little bit of it and it has already caught our attention on a few things we might not have realized and a few things we laughed when we read and exclaimed, "Hey, that's just like us!" :) "

" The 2 components of a great marriage. Of course both parties have to be willing to embrace the concept and act on what they learn thru reading this book. "

" Interesting, relevant, and helpful. It called out different behaviors and desires of women and men that I've observed, but never really grappled with the context of showing love and respect. The acronyms are too hard to remember, though. "

" This book really helped me understand respect. The whole concept is great; however, the author seems to repeat himself over and over. "

" So far I have learned that women need love and men need respect...men need more respect from their wives as they already know that their wives love them. "

" This is amazing. I never realized that women and men think so different. All of a sudden women are starting to make a little more sense. This book is probably the best relationship book I've read yet. A must read for couples! "

" The third and final book that I recommend on marital relationships, which is also applicable to businesslife. This book analyzes how giving and receiving love defines a woman's psyche, and giving and receiving respect does the same for men. "

" it's always good to find new ways to show love and respect to your spouse. "

" Highly recommended book. Opened my eyes, challenged the way I thought and if you apply the things you learned from this book, you will really experience positive changes in your relationships! "

" Love this book. Opened my eyes to my husbands deepest need, no not sex, respect. Ladies you should try it. It is wonderful to see your husband go from jerk to wanting to fulfill your deepest need, love. If your marriage needs a boost or is failing pick up this book and see what happens. "
