Simple Helps for Strengthening a Marriage

Customer Rating:

I'm always on the lookout for a Christian book on marriage that is simple and straightforward in its approach. This title fits the bill, offering the basic directive to the husband of "love her" and to the wife "respect him." The author uses Ephesians 5:33 as the cornerstone for his insights, expanding it to many different areas of couples' lives. I recommend this book highly to any married couple wanting simple helps to strengthen their marriage.

Happy and I know it!	Customer Rating:
My book came to me in perfect condition and in a timely manner. I'm very satisfied.

If you think you might need it...you do. Think no...you do.	Customer Rating:
This book touches on the most necessary but often overlooked aspect of marriage. It's helped me to show my husband how much I truley love him, in a way he connects to. I had no idea he wasn't feeling from me what I thought he was. Now we are much more connected. Don't miss this! The book goes on a bit long with stories but don't stop...you won't be sorry.

All couples, married or not should read this book	Customer Rating:
This is a "must read" book for any serious couple. Even for singles, I think this book offers a lot to think about in order to have a successful relationship. It is Biblically based, but in the realities of today. I think that this should have been the "marriage counseling" that we received before we got married!

Love And Respect

Customer Rating:

I just spent a few minutes reading several negative reviews regarding Emerson Eggerichs' Love and Respect. I have to say that it appears obvious that the majority of the reviews were written either by folk that had never actually read the book or were so completely biased against the concept of submission that they were unable to comprehend what Eggerichs was saying. I have used the Love and Respect material in my counseling practice for several years now, and have found it to be invaluable for Christian couples that truly seek to improve their marriages. A completely cursory reading of the book reveals that what Eggerichs is emphasizing is the individual husband to focus on finding ways to truly love (action verb) his wife and for the individual wife to find ways to truly respect her husband. The only time that the one should even consider what the other is providing is in an effort to recognize their own short-comings. It is simply amazing that such misunderstanding can come from someone that can actually read. Well, comprehension and reading are not the same, I guess. I strongly recommend Love and Respect as the truly scriptural model for Christian marriage.
