About this listen

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.

This book was very timely for me. I was searching for a book to help me understand what's going on in my marriage as I was beginning to feel unfulfilled and unhappy. This book gave me hope and what I like the most is the practical ways to improve your marriage in a biblical way. love it please get it, it's worth it.

Excellent...for any married couple

Content: I love the abundance of examples through personal stories, testimonies and through concrete tips and behaviors. It’s a balanced and, more importantly, biblical approach to marriage that takes the focus off of your spouse’s behaviors and onto Christ’s design and desire for us.

Listening experience: The quality of the recording itself isn’t the greatest. Sounds like different clips were cut and pasted together. Just keep your heart (and ears) focused on the core of the message and it’ll be worth your time.

Powerful and clear

I shared this book with several friends. The book gives a good indication of why so many marriages drift apart. I’ve started using some of the suggestions in the book and my relationship has already seen changes. I really wanted more love and by showing respect I am filled with the love I so wanted.

Really worth reading even if your not Christian

The Biblical principal of Love & Respect being opened and searched in detail is so amazing.

I have been thinking of this passage in Ephesians for a while before listening to this, about wives being called to respect their husbands. And for so long I kept thinking, wonder what that meant in practice and what that would look like to my husband in particular.

I started reading it only a week ago and now I'm done and started it over. I want to study ways to be respectful to my husband and remember them.

My marriage fell into pieces just 3 weeks ago when my husband suddenly, and to me, seemingly out of nowhere, announced he wanted a divorce and just left my two under 3 year old sons and I, while I was 8 months pregnant.

I fell into a complete frantic Bible and Prayer immerged life where I would do nothing but those two things. My pregnancy has been the roughest out of any ones I've heard of and I should be bed ridden. But I was left with no choose but to care for my son's alone in agony and hope that my unborn child would be fine even though I couldn't take care of myself at all.

Wonderful truths God showed me. How I was being so negative and letting my everyday life get me down. That I was forgetting how to live my husband, in the way he would feel loved. I was so critical and controling. And I came to the conviction that I needed to change. especially because I didn't want to loose my best friend, my companion, my lover just because I didn't do everything possible to show Him God's love through my demeanor and actions and words.

So, I suddenly, by God's intervention, was offered a free trial on Amazon Audible and that I would get a free book with it. I jumped for it! I hadn't been able to get the Love & Respect book for so long because of how we were doing financially and so God gave me the perfect gift. And I purchased this book immediately and started reading it beside my daily deviations.

God started transforming me quite immediately. The first two weeks of my husband being gone he sent me hate messages and malice in every way possible every day. It was insane. And that was my chance to make sure I was showing God obedience by loving Him and being transparent the whole time rather than getting offended by the horrible things he would say. Never have I ever done anything more difficult in my entire life. Not even 53 h of labour induced and then induced again could have come close to how much agony I was feeling. God pulled me through everyday through His word and talking to me.

Now suddenly for the last week my husband changed his way of talking to me, and he got involved with the kids and I, he is staying here at home now for the first weekend ever after he left. He tells me he loves me, I minister to him through sex and how I always speak to him respectfully and kindly, I serve him and don't complain, his ideas are just as good as mine if not better and I back him up, especially infront of our kids. It is a constant battle to go against what has become like second nature to me. But I sure can see a change. I think he thinks I like him. What a blessing.

I have always respected my husband, just haven't been able to let him know that. Even when he left I made a list of what I respect in him and it was a long one, it was so easy. I wondered why I hadn't done it before. And I am so happy serving him in many ways even though my physical strength is lesser than before. But the strength I have been going by is purely from God. He sustains me daily and all the time.

This is the best conviction story in my life EVER!!! I love God and seeing my husband through His eyes is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Praise the Lord.

This is saving my marriage!!!
