Publisher's Summary

Discover the single greatest secret to a successful marriage! Touted as a classic among marriage books, Love & Respect reveals why spouses react negatively to each other and how they can deal with conflict quickly, easily and biblically. A New York Times best seller with over 2.1 million copies sold.

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, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife, Sarah, have taken the Love and Respect message across America and are changing the way couples talk to, think about, and treat each other. If you want to feel peace, closeness, value, and to experience marriage the way God intended, this book will help you get there.

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.

What readers are saying about Love & Respect:

  • “I’ve been married 35 years and have not heard this taught.”
  • “This is the key that I have been missing.”
  • “You connected all the dots for me.”
  • “As a counselor, I have never been so excited about any material.”
  • “You’re on to something huge here.”

Partner Love & Respect with the Love & Respect Workbook for Couples, Individuals, and Groups for an added experience. Love & Respect is also available in Spanish, Amor y Respeto.

Powerful and life changing for all couples

My husband and I listened to the book together. We have a great marriage and this book has made it even better. Highly recommend for any couple, but young marriages could really benefit as some of the sceneries don't fit our situation. Thankful to read this.

The best book I have ever read regarding marriage!

I wish I’d read Dr Eggerichs book years ago!
It would’ve saved us much pain and many arguments! Read this book before going on any fancy expensive marriage course. The I information and advise is so simple and biblical. Instead of talking about the much overused word “submission” he talks about the simple truth of respecting and loving. Something that makes complete sense, is easy to do when explained so well and ultimately marriage transforming. Thank you so very much Dr Eggerichs for transforming our marriage!

a must read!

I started to read this book because it was recommended to my son and his new wife. After 30 years of marriage I heard truths I had heard but never really listened to. My thought processes have been so influenced by worldly thinking that I had no idea how much it had colored my attitude in my marriage. My attitude has definitely been challenged. Every wife/woman should get this message and have it sink into her soul no matter what stage of life she is in.

great reminder

if you're already familiar with the truths of love and respect this is still a great book to read or listen to for positive supportive input in this area.
