Publisher's summary

Why does communication between couples remain the number one marriage issue? "Because," says Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, "most spouses don’t know that they speak two different languages. They are sending each other messages in 'code,' but they won’t crack that code until they see that she listens to hear the language of love and he listens to hear the language of respect." Dr. Eggerichs’ best-selling book, Love & Respect, launched a revolution in how couples relate to each other.

In The Language of Love & Respect, he presents a practical, step-by-step approach for how husbands and wives can learn to speak each other's distinctly different language-respect for him, love for her. The result is mutual understanding and a successful, happy marriage. Previously released as Cracking the Communication Code.

How men need respect

I highly recommend this book for anyone having marital woes. Women need love and affection to feel loved; men need respect. Once I grasped this notion and began acting more respectful (and please don't think of this as being a doormat, it isn't), I began seeing changes in my spouse, which brought about changes in me and the good harmonious cycle continued. It only takes one person to make a small change and get off the crazy cycle for your marriage to reap the benefit. Are you willing to make that change?

Inspired and Relationship Chaningjng

So far, just I, the wife, has listened to this and it is already helping my marriage. Hopefully my husband will eventually listen and we will see more improvement. Emerson is very fair to both sexes and offers sound advice and insight for those willing to learn. This is not gimmicky. It is all biblically based

Eye opening!

I highly recommend this audio book. Even if your marriage is "fine" you can pick up some tips. I had several "ah ha!" moments on things that I can improve.

I've been married over 30 years to the same lady, I have a continual need for wisdom concerning my marriage and all kinds of different relationships.
This is one of those great books. It will deposits understanding beyond your years.
My thanks go out to a caring God, who loves us too much, to leave us where we are. Now go and grow in Love, Joy, peace and Patience.

You tricked me.

You trick your consumer audience by not referencing God or your religious beliefs in the summery of the book. This Entire Book is about the framework of marriage if your a Christain. If I wanted to buy a Christain book I would have but in this instance you tricked me. I'm sure your full of excuses. I would feel this same way if this was a buddist book, muslim or any other religion. Shame on you for hiding behind misinformation and profiting from it. The sad thing is, there is probably a lot of good things in this book but your manipulation of your summary snuffs out any chance of me listening. Honesty, is the way to bring people to God not manipulation. I need help with my marriage not help from someone who is going to take my money and be dishonest from the start. I'll remember your name.
