Simple Helps for Strengthening a Marriage

2008-10-06
I'm always on the lookout for a Christian book on marriage that is simple and straightforward in its approach. This title fits the bill, offering the basic directive to the husband of "love her" and to the wife "respect him." The author uses Ephesians 5:33 as the cornerstone for his insights, expanding it to many different areas of couples' lives. I recommend this book highly to any married couple wanting simple helps to strengthen their marriage.

My book came to me in perfect condition and in a timely manner. I'm very satisfied.

If you think you might need it...you do. Think no...you do.

This book touches on the most necessary but often overlooked aspect of marriage. It's helped me to show my husband how much I truley love him, in a way he connects to. I had no idea he wasn't feeling from me what I thought he was. Now we are much more connected. Don't miss this!
The book goes on a bit long with stories but don't stop...you won't be sorry.

All couples, married or not should read this book

This is a "must read" book for any serious couple. Even for singles, I think this book offers a lot to think about in order to have a successful relationship. It is Biblically based, but in the realities of today. I think that this should have been the "marriage counseling" that we received before we got married!

Love And Respect

I just spent a few minutes reading several negative reviews regarding Emerson Eggerichs' Love and Respect. I have to say that it appears obvious that the majority of the reviews were written either by folk that had never actually read the book or were so completely biased against the concept of submission that they were unable to comprehend what Eggerichs was saying.
I have used the Love and Respect material in my counseling practice for several years now, and have found it to be invaluable for Christian couples that truly seek to improve their marriages.
A completely cursory reading of the book reveals that what Eggerichs is emphasizing is the individual husband to focus on finding ways to truly love (action verb) his wife and for the individual wife to find ways to truly respect her husband. The only time that the one should even consider what the other is providing is in an effort to recognize their own short-comings.
It is simply amazing that such misunderstanding can come from someone that can actually read.
Well, comprehension and reading are not the same, I guess.
I strongly recommend Love and Respect as the truly scriptural model for Christian marriage.

Excellent Book with lots of substance

Based upon Ephesians 5:33 and extensive biblical and psychological research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the power of unconditional love and unconditional respect and how husbands and wives can reap the benefits of marriage that God intended.

Love and Respect

This is an excellent book. It has very simple biblical principles for marriage. I have read 15 communication and relationship books in the last 3 years and this has the most clear, simple and rewarding principles. God designed marriage and knows exactly how to keep marriage lasting and strong. When you see this simple view that is so easily missed, it is eye opening and transforming.

I have read a lot of marriage books, but this book by far seems to be the most balanced. Certain titles for things, like "Crazy Cycle" sound trite to me, but I find the information presented and the author's attitude to be realistic and pertinent.

Every married person needs to read this book!!

This is the greatest book on marriage I've ever read. It opened my eyes to so much. I cried as I realized what I have done without intending to. My husband and I are greatly indebted to Dr. E for his book which is taking our marriage back to the honeymoon.

The Best Book for Engaged Couples

2008-09-14
I've been engaged for a few months and I prayed to God to deliver me from some serious anger issues I had only when dealing with my soon to be husband. I struggled giving up my independence and I realized that fear played a big role in my anger as well as a lack of respect for this beautiful person in my life. Well God answered my prayers by leading me to this spiritually sound book and this has totally changed my relationship. The anger is gone and I give my fiance all the respect he deserves. He was already showing me so much love but I didn't know how to accept it but while reading this book I realized that he was loving me through his faith in God because he truly could see that I was a beautiful person under all that anger I expressed. I've read many books on anger and I also seek counseling but nothing has changed my life and delivered me from the anger in my relationship like this book.
