Product Description:
Successful couples know that harmony and happiness in marriage are not achieved by love alone. There is the other side of the Ephesians 5:33 equation - respect. Yes, a wife needs love. But a husband needs respect. Based on extensive biblical and scientific research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the secret to couples meeting each other's deepest needs: Without love she reacts without respect, and without respect he reacts without love and a destructive, vicious cycle begins. Love and Respect is a groundbreaking audiobook which offers much-needed help to husbands and wives everywhere. It introduces the biblical teaching of unconditional respect, and that it is as powerful as unconditional love. Discover the secret revealed by God that cracks the communication code between male and female and reap the benefits of marriage as God intended.

I'm a beliver, but do not attend church regularly and have a pretty easy-going view of religion generally. Someone gave this to us as a wedding gift and I was very skeptical. I picked it up a few nights ago and just started looking at it for the first time (we've been married 4 months) and then I couldn't put it down. I stayed up all night and read it cover to cover. I did feel like he was speaking just to me, and that he had somehow overheard our arguments and fights b/c he was giving examples that were almost verbatim what we say to one another when angry. I didn't know exactly why I got so mad, or why he got so mad at me and it finally made me really see. I was saddened and overjoyed at the same time, for realizing how hurtful we had both been to each other but now knowing what we could do better. After seeing how moved I was by the book, he has agreed to read it as well. We have a happy marriage, but we do have conflicts and they can tend to spiral out of control easily.

I wasn't too sure what to expect, when I first picked this book up, as "Christian" relationship books run a wide gamut concerning what they teach. Some are heavy on Scripture with few psychological insights while others are more psychology-based with a few Bible verses thrown in almost as an afterthought. I must say, though, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Eggerichs' book did a good job of presenting a Biblically-based view of marriage backed with key insights he learned while practicing family counseling. Eggerichs' career and educational background (he has a Masters of Divinity and a Ph.D. in child and family ecology) in both fields also help him transition seamlessly between providing keen psychological analysis and knowledgeable Biblical interpretation throughout the book.
The premise of Eggerichs' book is primarily based around two Scripture passages:
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife ... Read More

I am a Christian woman who constantly looks for books on how to keep my marriage healthy and loving. I found this book a bit irritating and could not read through a single chapter completely.
In my opinion, it is geared more toward men and what they "deserve" in a marriage, rather than a balanced look at how both men AND women should act in a godly marriage. I wouldn't recommend it, although I did see a few good pointers in the midst of rolling my eyes.

When I first read this book I was hesitant. I had the feeling the author was on the man's side and telling us women to show some respect then we'll get love. But I gave it a chance and found that he was fair. He gives both husband and wife their responsibility to give to the other unconditionally. We've been married for 8 years and the book revealed to me what we have been getting wrong. Not every book is for everyone. But this book was definitely for me. It's worth giving it a chance.

Egal Review of Emerson Eggerichs' "Love and Respect" by Don
Here is my attempt to extract the insights from L&R that could be useful for egals as well as identify those portions that are a concern to egals.
Throughout the book the author refers to people of good will doing this process. There is a basic assumption that both spouses are trying to act in faith, admitting when they are wrong,
although the more mature one is expected to initiate. As he is trying to encourage more loving and respectful marriages, he does not discuss much about marriage covenant violations that may result in divorce being the best option, so another resource should be consulted for this aspect, such as David Instone-Brewer. He does give some short examples of hopeless cases recovering.
