Dr. Eggerichs has a great idea incorporating respect into your marriage. He writes as if you've already read a lot of books on love, and harps on the wife a lot. If you can get past the fairly strict gender rolls he ascribes to and read the book for the overall concept of respecting your partner, then this will be a great help for your marriage. I highly recommend reading the appendices. In some cases, I found those to be written better than the actual book.

Love and Respect encourages both actions and words to communicate the real message between husband and wife. Excellent advice; well narrated; thought provoking.We listened to it together; discussed areas that applied to us and gained insight into the WHY we-react-as-we-do .
The only comment we really have is: How were couples able to figure out all this information before counsellors?

I am a senior citizen and wish that I had read this 50 years ago. It is the most easily understood explanation I have ever read about the differences in the way men and women view things. It is extremely helpful in the marriage relationship, both for a first marriage and also for blended families - and I have had both.

This book is amazing! Definitely recommend reading/listening to it and incorporating it's information into one's life!!!

I have bought approximately 5 copies of this book and given them away to friends. I have used it to teach small groups on the power of living relationships the way they are intended to be lived. I have also realized the power of this book in my own marriage and family life. It is great!
