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.

Made me a better man

Author talks about men having blue sunglasses and women wearing pink sunglasses when looking at various everyday conflicts. This book is about understanding how men and women think and how you can look at a problem from other persons perspective. At the same time book discusses about some basic relationship advice such as never having an ill will for your partner as that would just drag you back to the "crazy cycle".

Author brings up quite a lot of references from the bible or refers to teaching of the bible, try your best to look/hear past those quotes and listen to the ideas if that bothers you. For me the value of his advice whether they are from the bible or not didn't matter as a Buddhist.

This book made me a better man who suppose to love their wife unconditionally no matter what.

Great book to save your marriage

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I think you will also find that most of the issues the book mentions are things you encounter as well.

Simple but profound to build/rebuild your marriage

For years I have struggled with hurt and disappointment but not understood why. This message gave words to my experience in the introduction... then there was the rest of the book 🤔

Recommending to every woman

Such a wonderful read. The author is funny, and captivating with what he shared. I thoroughly enjoyed the scriptures throughout to demonstrate how the Bible sees husband and wife. I recommend this to every woman I know.
