I PURCHASED THIS BOOK IN JANUARY 2014 THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATION OF A CLOSE FRIEND. THE SUNDAY AFTER I ORDERED IT, OUR PASTOR ANNOUNCED THEY WERE DOING THE CLASS ON THIS BOOK "LOVE & RESPECT" BY DR EGGERICHS. I TOLD MY HUSBAND WE WERE GOING TO SIGN UP @ THE END OF THE SERVICE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL THE INFO MANY YEARS AGO. IT REALLY WOULD HAVE HELPED THROUGH OUR ALMOST 33 YEARS OF MARRIAGE! BOTH MY HUSBAND & I HAVE & ARE MAKING CHANGES TO BETTER OUR MARRIAGE. IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, READY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL, PLEASE GET THIS BOOK & READ IT AS A NIGHTLY DEVOTIONAL! BLESSINGS!

My small group Bible study is going through Love & Respect. Makes sense, but sometimes seems a little heavy handed on the women - unconditional respect is a hard concept to put your mind around.

My husband and I have been married for 19 years. I would say we have a good marriage........however listening, learning and putting into practice the different techniques in this book it has done wonders for our marriage. In the last few weeks, our relationship has reached a new level, I call it "our second honeymoon". Physically, emotionaly and spiritually, the contents and the truth presented in this book will touch you to your very core. Even our children have noticed the difference! Love it! :-)

I was married 19+ years to my first husband when he went home to be with The Lord. God graciously provided me a new husband, a wonderful Christian man who also lost his wife too early in life. Our marriage counselor recommended this book to us, and we both wish we had had it when we were married to our first spouses because it contains so much wisdom about the God-ordained differences between men and women. I am learning to understand the benefit of showing unconditional respect towards my husband, and to appreciate the way God has created men and women to complement each other. It addresses the misinformation our culture has bought into (myself included) and unpacks God's point of view and how doing marriage God's way can be energizing and rewarding. I'm learning that marriage isn't really about me at all, but about living out marriage as unto The Lord. It is a must-read for all men and women, as we contemplate marriage and commit to a life-time together, or simply want to be better able to relate to the opposite sex!!

I've been married 41 years--35 years as a believer, and this book helped me understand what's been going on in our marriage for so long that created distance in our relationship. It's worth the investment in time and dollars...
