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.

Not what I would recommend as a therapist who works primarily with children
Very much based in outdated religious views of family structure and discipline. I will not be recommending this book to clients as I feel some of the information is harmful to loving parenting practices.

Great concepts, voice is distracting
I feel like the concepts are very helpful but the narrator’s voice is robotic, fast, and distracting. Slowing the tempo down makes it almost as distracting and I can’t focus on the content. I’ll be eventually buying the physical book.

Great Biblical references. On Point!
I am so appreciative of Cloud's stance, taken directly from the Bible. It's a really helpful book. Cloud does a great job of not only addressing a great deal of parental struggles, but also states ways to address them. Although painful, he presents the view that at least some of the challenges arise as a result of parents themselves lacking boundaries. I will listen to this audio book again and purchase the written version as well to have on hand for reference.

Imperative
As an adult who has struggled with boundaries all my life, and recognizing that many others do as well, I think this book is imperative for parents and grandparents to read and stop the cycle of poor or no boundaries. When I decided to become a parent, I knew I wanted to follow a lot of these concepts, and this book provides a road map for that.

I realized I was setting boundaries for my kids but giving them three chances before I took action and was not consign following through. Now I have a renewed approach where spanking (which I did minimally) will be delayed as I use these new tools. Thank you the authors.
