Discover the single greatest secret to a successful marriage! Touted as a classic among marriage books, Love & Respect reveals why spouses react negatively to each other and how they can deal with conflict quickly, easily and biblically. A New York Times best-seller with over 2.1 million copies sold.
Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy.
Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife, Sarah, have taken the Love and Respect message across America and are changing the way couples talk to, think about, and treat each other. If you want to feel peace, closeness, value, and to experience marriage the way God intended, this book will help you get there.
Love and Respect is for anyone: those in marital crisis, the happily married, engaged couples, pastors and counselors, and small groups. This dynamic and life-changing message is impacting the world, resulting in the healing and restoration of countless relationships.

"This book is very good. I have heard all my life how we are supposed to have unconditional love. This was fine for the Ladies but not quite for the men. When Emerson points out that wives are commanded by the Bible to give their husbands unconditional respect the same way as husbands are to give their wives unconditional love, it all made sense.
I like how he talks about when Love and respect are not given, you get the crazy cycle.
Finally, I like how in the end of the book, he wraps it up by saying how loving and respecting your spouse is loving and respecting God.
I highly recommend this book. Especially, if you can work on it with your spouse in a group setting. "
