Love & Respect for a Lifetime by Dr. Emmerson Eggerichs
From the book's back cover:
When you touch your spouse's deepest need. Something good happens! Love and respect. Just two little words. But they have the power to transform any marriage from chaotic to calm. Or from shaky to steady ground. Why these two words? They fill the deepest desires of a man and a woman. They're the keys to a mutual understanding of each other's language. And practicing them will pave the way for a tender and meaningful relationship for a lifetime. So take a closer look at what it means to love her and to respect him. You marriage will never be the same.
I really like this book even though it made me take an honest look at how I am relating to and speaking to my husband. No one likes to think they are being disrespectful, but through the ideas presented in the book, I was able to see the ways I can show more respect to my husband. Not through what I am saying, but how I am saying it. Through my body language and expressions by making simple changes and being more aware or my actions, the re-action I get from him is more loving. Breaking the cycle of behavior isn't about waiting for the other person to change, but by owning it and making the changes in yourself. I think this book is one that anyone in a relationship should read - it could very well save that relationship!
NOTE- I do not receive any compensation for writing this review - just a copy of the book to read from booksneeze.com. This is my opinion so take it for what it's worth - just my thoughts on a book I read, nothing more and nothing less.
