Customer Reviews

Great Insight, But Could Be More Concise

"Love and Respect" is based on Eph 5:33. It's a simple concept, but highly applicable. My only critique of the book is it reads a bit like a blog; he revisits themes. But the message as a whole is solid. Further reading: "For Men Only," and "For Women Only," by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn.

Respect! That’s tough

Great insight on ways to be more respectful and benefits will be receiving love. Perfect for both husband and wife.

This is the most amazing book

I love how this book breaks down the communication issues between husband and wife in a loving biblical way and not a condemning way. This book has done amazing things for my marriage. I wish I had discovered it sooner. He has a family book and that one is amazing too! Definitely worth the money to fix my understanding of myself, husband, and marriage.

Too long, lost interest

The book had wonderful points and I learned a lot from it. However, I never finished the book even though I've tired to pick it back up again multiple times in the past 3 years. The format is more of a blog/journal. I think they need to come up with a new edition and shorten the book by taking out all the unnecessary talk and just stick to the facts and advice.

Excellent Read

This book is wonderful! It is written so well, i think everyone that is married or getting ready to marry should read this, it help me to understand the way we are wired and how to stop the "crazy cycle" we can so easily put ourselves on!

Inspiring

This book covers new ground in relationships and possible explains so much of what is wrong in our modern marriages.

I wish I had heard this a long time ago...

I thought my husband and I had a "decent" marriage. I knew I would stay in my marriage, but I had begun to think "this is the best it is going to get." I thought we would continue to co-exist, but our communication was so-so, and my desire for him was waning. Then I heard the video series in a Adult Sunday class at church and it changed my mind and heart forever. I realized why my expectations were not being fulfilled, and my husband and I looked at each other after the first video with tears in our eyes. I have shared this information with so many other women, and at first they look so baffled. But once you grasp it, your life and your marriage will never be the same. I see my husband with new eyes, and look at him the way I did when we first met. That is so nice after almost 19 years of marriage. It is a great book, and we plan to share it with our soon to be married son.

Only on Chapter 2 - But Know It Is A Must Read

This book was recommended to us by our counselor. She is recommending it to every single one of the couples she counsels or has counseled. That's how much she believes in this book. My husband and I read the introduction and knew right away that it was going to help us build a stronger foundation and have a better marriage. The concept is so simple - he needs respect and she needs to know she's loved - but you'll have an A-HA moment and know that it's so very true. The book will feel like it's talking directly to you. Every couple should read this book - happy couples and couples in trouble.

THIS IS A MUST READ!!

Love and Respect is one of the finest books I have read on the topic of male female communication. As this book gains more and more exposure it will go down as a must own in Christian marriage counseling. Not only did I order the book, but I also ordered the 9 cd set on the same topic and the workbooks "Motivating Your Man God's Way. I am a single living in New York and this book contains tremendous material for singles that will prove to be invaluable once they get married. I have taught much of the content in our bible studies. The purchasing of this book may be the single greatest investment you can man make to learn about the opposite sex, and have a God centered marriage.
