I'm giving this book a 5 star only because Part III (Rewarding Cycle) gets a 7 star, because it's THAT good! Part 1 and Part 2 are pretty much straightforward which talks about the Crazy Cycle and the Energetic Cycle. (4 star each) What makes Part 3 so great is because of two reasons:
1) It centers on Christ!
2) Love unconditionally is the theme.
You see, husbands shouldn't love their wives just so they want respect and wives shouldn't respect husbands just so they want to be loved by their husbands. No, it doesn't work that way. There are many examples in part 3 that talks about how husbands love unconditionally or wives respect unconditionally and gradually see a changed spouse in a matter of months! The key is to first love Christ. When you do, loving & respecting your spouse will be a piece of cake. I would pay the price of this book for part 3 alone if I have to so since I got Part 1, 2 & 3, it's a bargain. But in order to understand part 3, you must read part 1 and part 2. Don't worry, it's a quick read and you don't need a Ph.D in English to understand what Emerson is talking about. Of course, like every book out there, reading and understanding is just the beginning, once you apply to real life, you'll be glad you read this.
Also Part 3 has many different Bible verses along that talks about loving your spouse unconditionally. Just think about it, if you can forgive and love your enemies, how hard is it to love your spouse that way? Reading this book is like eating a sour lollipop with a sweet core. Part 3 is the sweet core and once you have past through the sour candy, you will reach to your destiny, which is a happy and lasting marriage.
So in short summary, if you are not getting love and/or respect from your spouse, first, pray to God and ask for His strength in you AND your spouse. Secondly, wait for His calling. I wish you (& your spouse) the best, and God bless...
(From quoting J. Li, USA)

From Publisher
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.
Discover the Single Greatest Secret to a Successful Marriage
Psychological studies affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find.
Today, you and your mate can start fresh with the ground-breaking guidance that Dr. Emerson Eggerichs provides in this book. His revolutionary message, featured on Focus on the Family, is for anyone: in marital crisis...wanting to stay happily married...who's feeling lonely. It's for engaged couples...victims of affairs...pastors and counselors seeking material that can save a marriage.
Using Dr. Eggerich's breakthrough techniques, couples nationwide are achieving a brand-new level of intimacy and learning how to: - stop the Crazy Cycle of conflict - initiate the Energizing Cycle of change - enjoy the Rewarded Cycle of new passion
And if you'll take this biblically based counsel to heart, your marriage could be next!

This book is for any couple!! The book is based on Biblical principles, but you do not need to be Jewish or Christian to appreciate that the information is true. This is a great book no matter how long you have been married. You do not need to have a "bad" marriage to read it either. Take advantge of it!! |

This book should be mandatory reading for men and women. As a Christian I never really understood Eph. 5:33. Men are to love their wives as Jesus loves the church, BUT wives are to RESPECT their husbands. What an eye opener. I am currently separated from my husband who is also a Christian. If I had only shown respect towards my husband, I would not be in this position. Men want to be respected. They want to be the head honcho. Women want love, period. But, for wives to receive the love they crave, she must show her husband that she respects him. That means not bad mouthing him, insulting him, even in fights, etc. Husbands and wives need to realize that divorce is the worst thing in the world. That is why God has given us these commands, not to punish us, but to protect us from the pain and sorrow we suffer when we don't do what He has said. These last 10 months have been worse than hell. Be proactive and respect your husbands. Do not critize and complain all the time. Let your needs be known, but be respectful and cherish what you have together. Concentrate on the good and work to over come what needs improvement. |

I've seen this material work over and over again. Divorce papers put through the shredder and deeper intimacy created. Whether you are struggling in marriage or just looking to create more intimacy. Love and Respect will help.
It is insightful, simple and direct for all to grasp. You will laugh together and cry together as you read that you are normal. You'll have new tools that are easy to put into action.
If you are honest and teachable with a genuine desire to look at yourself instead of pointing at your spouse as the problem you will enjoy working through this together. |
