 love and respect May 16, 2008
I read half way through this book. I regret reading that much of it. As many of the other reviewers have stated, I found this book to be sexist. The examples Dr. Eggerichs gave were one sided and always favored the husband. Dr. Eggerichs focus was on how a women could positively change the marriage by respecting her husband. He stated in general women nag & criticize their husbands and thus disrespect them. Although, I agree respect is important and nagging & contempt are detrimental, these rules should apply to both partners.
I gasped when I read Dr. Eggerich's statement (pg36)concerning the difficulties of living with women who are PMSing. He writes "Everyone ducks for cover when Mom is in that kind of mood. No one doubts her basic mother love, but sometimes they're not so sure she really likes them." He further references PMS as pre murder syndrom. Im am not an expert other than to say that I am an adult woman and I know many other adult women. It is in my experience that myself and the other women in my life have not had a problem with emotional mood swings related to their monthly cycle since puberty. I find Dr. Eggerich's comments in this respect to be disconnected and with out understanding.
I hope I convince any potential readers from not buying this book.
 Great May 15, 2008
This book helps you understand why men are how they are. If that makes any sense, it helped me understand why men do or say certain things, helped me see his point of view. And vice versa, helps men understand why women are a certain way, that they dont quite understand how we think and our feelings.
 Great Book May 9, 2008
This is an awesome book for any married couple (or anyone in a relationship for that matter). It helps to understand the needs of your partner and why someone may be reacting the way they do. I would highly recommend this book to others.
Something new. May 8, 2008
Maybe this book isn't the first one out there to focus on the "respect he needs" and the "love she desires," but this book definitely puts a new spin on the idea that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Dr. Eggerichs puts into words what I and other men I know haven't been able to articulate, but it all rings true. I've heard a similar response from women readers. I've read dozens of relationship texts over the years and this is, by far, the most insightful and practical text I have come across. Dr. Eggerichs uses one verse from the Bible and demonstrates how simple the idea of love and respect is. In practicality, marriage isn't easy, but if you're seeking wise, straightforward, and understandable advice, then check this one out.
You'll hear this throughout the book: "not wrong, just different." This book is different than the rest, and definitely not wrong.
Makes perfect sense April 29, 2008
This book is well-written and can help you save your marriage. We all go through the 'crazy cycle'. This book has excellent bible based solutions to challenges we all face in our marriages. We liked this book so much that we bought a copy for every member of our family. You don't have to have a troubled marriage to find this book useful.
