About this audiobook

Come discover one of the greatest secrets to a successful relationship! Love & Respect is A New York Times?best-selling marriage book making a difference with over two million copies sold! Help you and your spouse achieve a deeper level of intimacy by stopping the crazy cycle of conflict, developing better communication skills, and enjoying renewed passion.

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. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. 

Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone: those in marital crisis, the happily married, engaged couples, pastors and counselors, and small groups. This dynamic and life-changing message is impacting the world, resulting in the healing and restoration of countless relationships.

In Love & Respect couples can find:

  • How to break down the communication code between spouses
  • How to handle conflict in a relationship
  • How to build respect for one another
  • How to foster a deep love for one another
  • How to rekindle passion for one another

Taking God’s biblical practice of marriage and applying it with practical techniques, Emerson Eggerichs shows how mutual Love and Respect can balance a marriage and encourage a successful relationship.

Pair Love & Respect?with the Love & Respect Workbook for Couples, Individuals, and Groups for an added experience and to dig deeper into your relationship and foster understanding with your partner. Love & Respect?is also available in Spanish, Amor y Respeto.

    Absolutely horrible and dangerous premise, that's actually not even Biblical! It's based on a few verses taken out of context. Both individuals in a marriage need to feel loved and respected, it's not one or the other for either party. I have seen this book do more harm than good in people's marriages - especially for the wives. Before reading, I would recommend you do some research on this title and see the pros and cons. Don't blindly read a book like this, especially when it comes to the most important and sacred relationship you have - your marriage!

    I have to give at least one star to write a review, but this book deserves none! It is a book straight out of the pit of hell!!
    The author is clearly a victim of an abusive home and haa become an abuser himself. He has zero respect for women and his message is clear: even though God gave you a brain, don't use it! Just grovel and all will be well!!

    He justifies it by misquoting Scripture and blames women, including his mother, for men's failure to act Godly and take responsibility for themselves. If they watch porn, have affairs, abuse their wives in any way, act like creeps, it's the wife's fault because she failed to respect him.

    I feel very sorry for this man'a wife, who apparently buys into his distorted views and teachings.

    This book should be banned and burned!!!

    I found this book to be on par with John Gray’s Men are From Mars; Women are from Venus book. Dr. Eggerichs discusses the differences between men and women and how each needs to be more in touch with what the other one needs. When men attempt to treat their wives as they would want to be treated, they inevitably end up doing the “wrong” thing and when women attempt to love their husband as they want to be loved, they also do the “wrong” thing. If you are a Christian, you will be pleased that Dr. Eggerichs bases his book on Biblical scriptures. If you do not consider yourself a religious person, I don’t believe the scripture verses take anything away from the message.Dr. Eggerichs mainly focuses on the woman’s need for love and the man’s corresponding need for respect. He says that there is a “Crazy Cycle” where when men feel disrespected, they withdraw their love from the relationship and when women feel unloved, they withdraw their respect from the relationship. In relationships where this cycle has been raging, it is difficult to find someone willing to break the cycle because he or she finds it hard to believe that if the husband is more loving toward his wife, she will respond with less criticism and more respect. Similarly, if the wife is more respectful toward her husband, he will respond with more loving behavior.Dr. Eggerichs calls this the “Energizing Cycle” and he supports it with very specific behaviors each gender must use. He says women need C-O-U-P-L-E, while husbands need C-H-A-I-R-S. Yes, these are acronyms for spelling love to the wife and respect to the husband. All of what he says appears to be in line with what I believe is true of the majority of men and women in relationships.The final section of his book is more for Christians as he describes the “Rewarded Cycle.” This is where he instructs couples that their reward for loving their wives and respecting their husbands is in heaven and a person really does it to serve God.As a highly spiritual but non-religious person, I found the book to be very helpful and I think it is a great book for both men and women who are looking for some common sense ideas about improving their relationship.

    This book has profoundly changed my view on my marriage. In the first two chapters I feel like my heart did a 180 and became soft again towards my wife as I began to understand many of things the crazy cycles within our relationship. I now have hope that we can break these cycles and get on both the energizing cycle and the reward cycle. Thank you so much Emerson for being obedient to God. You have paved the way for so many successful marriages.

    Voilà un livre très éclairant sur l'amour et le respect, montrant l'importance pour l'épouse de montrer du respect à son mari et l'importance pour le mari de montrer de l'amour inconditionnel à son épouse. Le tout est appuyé d'écritures Issues de la Bible et en les appliquant à nos couples.
