 Very insightful July 23, 2008
Although Part One (of three) in this book is slow reading (and 100 pages long!), it is well worth slogging through it to get to Part Two (how men can show their wives how they love them) and Part Three (how women can show their husbands they respect them).
For the people who complain that the book takes too strong of a stance on the differences in roles, expectations and positions of men and women (which the author supports with Biblical references), I would say - wait until you've lived a little longer, then set aside your notions and truly OBSERVE the truths about the differences between men and women - we are NOT the same!
I plan to give this to several friends, even the ones who probably wouldn't admit that it will improve their marriages. A lot of people in my age group have been married for 10 to 20 years and are struggling with a lot of the long-standing issues (the Crazy Cycle) detailed in this book. This book WILL save some marriages, but only if it gets the attention of those that need it most! Pass it on!
Awesome and insightful book! July 22, 2008
Don't be fooled by those who down-talk this book. The book was right on point. Some reviews say the author talks down on women and say it's their fault men don't love them. They fail to mention that it teaches form men to make peace humbly in order to defuse the disagreement and it promotes unconditional love and a stronger relationship with God as the reward for faithfully trying to reconcile the marriage whether or not your spouse is willing to do the same.
While reading this book, I could see myself as well as my fiancee in the stories and illustrations he gives. I know my fiancee loves me but I feel joy when I know she looks up to me and respects me and uplifts me to her friends and co-workers. I also can feel a warmness from her when I stroke her face, look in her eyes, play with her hair, talk with her about her problems without being Mr. Fix-it.
This book goes over all this and more. Everything is backed up by scripture - something none of the negative reviewers can refute.
Have an open mind and more importantly, an open heart when reading this book so that God through this book can reveal your true self and counsel you to a blessed marriage. I'm convinced that the negative reviewers did not have this mindset when reading this book. Else they would have focused on the truth and not the rinky dink things like his mentioning of PMS-ing or their belief that he was blaming women for the reason men being the way they are.
Get the book, its worth it!
Improve your marriage! July 21, 2008
This book can change your marriage! It helps husbands see that their wife's greatest need is for love; and wives see that their husband's greatest need is for respect. Dr. Eggerichs reveals three cycles in a marriage that helps you understand how love and respect compliment each other.
 She most desires July 18, 2008
A majority of the book is spent telling women what they are doing wrong. I felt as though this book was written for women not both genders.
Putting Marriage in Perspective July 2, 2008
My husband and I have been married for 10 years this month. Just about 3 months ago things between us had escalated to the point that my husband almost walked out the door. After going through an in depth personal evaluation and realizing places where I need to change, and coming to terms with certain struggles in my life, I began to focus on my marriage and what I could do to begin the process of improving it and repairing the damage. This is not to say that everything in my marriage is my fault - I know very well that it takes two to make a marriage and two to break a marriage. However, I also know that the only person I can change is me - and that is a great place to start. I found this book, Love & Respect on Amazon.com and after reading the reviews decided to purchase it. I am so glad that I did. I think the book is very well written. It gives really great advice to both the husband and the wife and give specific ways for you to begin showing each other love and respect. There are a lot of ways for which I have not respected my husband in our marriage. Now I have found a source to help me rebuild my marriage. It can begin w/ me showing my husband unconditional respect. This book stresses that the respect you show your husband must be unconditional, regardless of whether the way he is treating you at the time feels unloving. If you press on, always working to show unconditional respect for your husband, a wife has the awesome power to begin changing the way her husband responds to her. If he feels respected by his wife, he is going want to respond in a loving way to his wife and comfort her and support her. This is also written for the husband - to show his wife unconditional love, regardless of whether she is giving him respect. If two people in a marriage are good-willed people, they are bound to respond to each other positively by giving their spouse what their spouse needs most. For a husband, he needs to feel that his wife respects him. For a wife, she needs to feel that her husband truly loves her. In the short amount of time that I have read this book and started to put the unconditional respect rule into motion w/ my husband, I have already seen positive results. We have a long way to go to rebuild our marriage, but so far I feel like we are on our way. This book has great advice and good insight into what a husband needs and what a wife needs. Well worth the time and money!!
