 Best Marriage Book Ever! September 5, 2008
I purchased this book and started reading it and I just couldn't put it down!!! I read it in 6 days! Now my husband is reading it.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR MARRIAGES...and couples dating that are engaged! If all we had was the Bible and this book there would be no more divorces!!!! This book was written by Emerson Eggrichs........ but he was insired by the "Holy Spirit". These are God's principles and scriptures!
It's so easy to understand and apply to your spouse! And it renews your relationship with the Lord too.
My marriage is "Great" but something was still missing? The missing pieces were "Love & Respect"! Simply put "Without Love She Reacts Without Respect.........Without Respect He Reacts Without Love". I am a Christian and have known these truths for years! But this book puts these truths into simple to understand applications for your relationship with your spouse.
As I meet my husbands needs for "Respect".......he just melting and I can see the pressure that has built up over the years just disapear! I am now in return feeling loved by my husband as I meet his needs for "Respect".........he is meeting my need to feel loved! =)
"DO NOT HESITATE TO GET THIS BOOK"!!!! I plan on having my son read it before he gets married someday. He's only 13 now. I have been married for 25 almost 26 years and I wished that I could have read it in the beginning of our marriage. It would have saved a lot of heartache!
If you have never accepted the Lord as your Savior you need to do so NOW! Simply pray: Dear Heavenly Father......I know that I am a Sinner....I have not been living my life for you..........I know that you died on the Cross for me............Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior.........forgive me for not living my life for you. In Jesus name.....Amen!
If you prayed this prayer you now have your name written in the "Book of Life" and your eternal home is Heaven. Get yourself a Bible....one that's easy to understand. I have the New Internationl Version NIV. Find a biblically based Church.
"God Bless"

Amazingly Practical, Not Preachy August 29, 2008
I don't usually write reviews on books because many other people can be so much more detailed. However, this book is so amazing I HAVE to rate it or I'll feel guilty!
I have read a lot of books on marriage, and this is BY FAR the most practical, far-reaching one I have ever read. It has changed my relationship with my husband by changing the way I view almost every interaction between us.
The best thing about this book (in my opinion) is that it only takes ONE spouse to start making a difference! In marriage, communication and conflict really are cycles where we react to each other, and even if only one of you reads this book, you WILL SEE DRAMATIC CHANGES by just trying out some of the ideas here. If both of you read the book, even better!!
The book is set up so that there is a general section at the beginning, a few chapters "for him" specifically, and then a few chapters "for her" specifically. I found it helpful to read both sections (because sometimes we don't always fit the "pink and blue" stereotypes exactly; in our relationship I sometimes react the way the book says husbands more commonly do and vice versa) but they are definitely written for the audience. The men's chapters use examples men understand: circuitry, sports, etc. The women's chapters are written the way a woman understands.
I love my husband deeply, and know that he loves me as well, so I could never understand why we would get into these terrible screaming matches over practically nothing. Things would get so bad I have wondered on more than one occasion if our marriage would last even with both of us intent that it would. It is simply amazing that on almost every page, there was a principle or an example or just a "rephrasing" of ideas that I have heard before, that were so profound to me that I felt like this book was written FOR ME.
I would also like to add this: if you are not a very religious person, don't be intimidated. The principles and the referenced verses are Biblical, but the problems and the solutions are (again) practical and the author makes it very clear that this is backed up by secular research. The tone is helpful, sympathetic, and in NO WAY preachy.
I cannot imagine this book NOT helping somebody, whether your marriage is already good and you want to make it better, or you are on the brink of divorce (like we were). I feel a deeper understanding of how to show love to my husband, and I am receiving more love from him in response than I have since we were dating! Don't bother with the library - you will not regret buying this book! :o)
 Light Switch Turned "On" August 20, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. It brought about a view that I never considered with my husband. I didn't think that I was not seeing his view until reading this book and looking back over some of the issues we have had. I am happy that I brought this book. I would suggest it as a good read to anyone. The only complaint that I do have with the book was that he does repeat the concept several times and takes quite a bit to move on. But the eye opener effect that this book had with me was more important than reading some of the same points over again. Heck... I probably needed to reread them over and over again to get accustomed to the new concept. All in all I would buy this book again.
Amazing and Eye-Opening! August 14, 2008
Amazing and eye-opening book! Everyone getting married should be required to read this book, and anyone who is considering marriage or wants to get married should read also!
More respect August 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The advice of this book has a way of encouraging you to look for ways to convey respect to those men who mean so much to you be them friends, husbands, brothers, fathers, co workers. I also recommend a book about this topic for couples I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't
