Publisher's summary

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.

It works!

It is not easy to love and respect someone unconditionally but when you think that you are doing it because God wants you to do it to honor him then you feel good, we all want to do what is right, God has a plan, we just need to learn to trust him always.

Whole new prospective on relationships...

This book is like a go to relationship therapist (literally is also) but it is at hand at your convenience. Immediately started following Doctors practices and noticed an immediate difference in my relationship.

I take joy in sharing this book with my partner and girlfriends because I KNOW it's helpful! Best self help relationship and Christian based book I've read/audiod to date. I will be referencing it for years to come!

Biblical and powerful!

I read this book several years ago and decided to listen to the audio version. Once again it opened my eyes and helped me to work on myself. Praise God!

Outstanding, life changing!

I think this should be required reading for every married couple, and every couple considering marriage.

Every Married Couple needs to read!

So helpful. We were struggling to understand each other. No kids at home anymore, new rules, new communication style needed. Emerson's Christ centered wisdom helped tremendously. We are like the newly married couple again.

Game changer

This book was absolutely incredible. It was eye opening and when the techniques are applied, IT WORKS!! I am amazed. My husband read it and agrees. We have made a complete 180 in our relationship and it has helped strengthened my faith and relationship with God as well. I am more in control and aware of my words and actions due to the enlightenment that I received in this book. The narrarator is the author and he reads the book with a personality that makes it very easy to follow. Thank you, Dr. Eggerichs for this game changing material!!

Life changing

This is seriously a must read for everyone who is married or planning on marrying. I am not married yet and I am so glad that I found this book before saying “I do” because I think that I have a much clearer picture on what a godly marriage looks like. My parents are wonderful but their marriage wasn’t perfect and I see so many of their bad habits in how I treat the man I love. I always thought that i would make a good wife someday but this book showed me how much I have to learn. I can’t wait to use the ingenious techniques that the good doctor explains in this book. These lessons will offer so much healing to those already marred and, i think, avoid a lot of confusion and heartache to those entering marriage.

awesome book

he did a great job explaining everything. I will put this in my marriage. 10-27-18 is the wedding day

This is incredibly insightful and essential

This is an incredibly insightful and essential book for EVERY marriage, and should be read many times throughout the marriage.

Can't tell you how blessed I am!

This has brought so much healing to my marriage and opened up the miscommunication!
How selfish I have been in just thinking of myself and my needs! And that he would need what I needed, like there was nothing else besides love in the equation that was needed! I'm picturing a broken heart of 2 parts..1 is love and 1 is honor. The honor was the missing piece! Not only that, but once I put away that he didn't deserve it and focused on the Lord and what He desired for me, my growth accelerated! I was able to listen, feel and consider what the Lord wanted me to do regarding my husband! Compassion and God's heart was my reward! Thank you so much for stretching and challenging me! Totally surprised that I was able to receive this much from "a man" lol.
