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.

What readers are saying about Love & Respect:

• “I’ve been married 35 years and have not heard this taught.”
• “This is the key that I have been missing.”
• “You connected all the dots for me.”
• “As a counselor, I have never been so excited about any material.”
• “You’re on to something huge here.”

Life changing potential for sure.

Where does Love and Respect rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Since it has helped my wife and I in the beginning of our marriage make it past a very difficult time I'd have to rate it number 2. Only second to the Bible that the principles the content is based on is number one I'll have to say.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Love and Respect?

When he speaks of the "Crazy cycle" that's spot on. Using a Biblical solution is the key to my trusting what he said in the first place.

What does Emerson Eggerichs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He's expressive in his voice and intonations.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The books name is good enough.

Any additional comments?

I've spoke to quite a few men with long term marriages since reading this book. The principle of "Love and Respect" is invariably at play in each of them in some form or another.

Probably Single but inspired!!

I am not married. Not even sure if I still have a girlfriend LOL. The beginning of this book made me mad as it list the different arguments between couples. Yet I find myself inspired by this book. How differently my life would have been had I read it earlier. Wow... I might have been married by now. Maybe. At least it seems like I'd have a fighting chance with this book by my side. lol. Great read! Eye opening.

Made me laugh

Would you consider the audio edition of Love and Respect to be better than the print version?

I prefer audio now.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Love and Respect?

Laughing out loud in the kitchen while I listened to his stories that I related with.

Our marriage needed this book!!

If you could sum up Love and Respect in three words, what would they be?

I NEVER KNEW!

Any additional comments?

This book is great for any marriage, good or bad. Every married couple must read this if they want to understand each other!!!

Best relationship book I have read so far!

I have had the privilege of a beautiful and healing relationship with my husband, with a couple of bumpy spots that provided us an opportunity to grow. However, the past year and a half, we had fallen into this crazy cycle (ha) that neither of us understood, nor knew how to escape or stop. This book shed an amazing light on what was happening between us, and gave us the tools to correct what was slipping. I have my precious, tender husband back, and I’m more than happy to step into my role as his respectful wife, the benefits to both of us are so worth it!

divine masculine and divine feminine

absolutely life altering information here. it can be beneficial for any relationship dynamic between masculine and feminine, but especially mind blowing for marriage. grateful to have read this book!

Very nice insight you don't typically consider

Very insightful book with great ideas. Whether you're in a healthy or unhealthy relationship, includes many reminders. There is some repetition here or there and sometimes the reader chuckles during the performance which is why I gave it 4 stars in Performance and Story but I'm being very picky there. Overall its an excellent book, well read, and enjoyable.

Two thumbs waaaay up

Tells what husbands/wives are thinking and feeling. And what the Bible say in reference to it. Extremely helpful.

Great insight into what women and men need!

This was a great book with very good Insight on what a woman needs in the marriage and what a man needs in marriage. Good principles to follow relying on Jesus will help you through. loving as unto Jesus and respecting as unto Jesus is key for any marriage to thrive

This has opened my heart and mind

I'm so thankful to have had this book recommended to me at this very difficult time in my marriage. I know that all things happens in his perfect timing.
