This is a wonderful book that takes the complexities of achieving marital bliss and whittles them down to two needs. Dr. Eggeriches tells couples that they can avoid the “Cycle” by considering the emotional requirements of their spouse. His conclusions are based on several fabulous yet common examples taken directly from his experiences as well as those of whom he has counseled. To put it simply, a women needs love and a man requires respect in order to avoid the pitfalls of a “Cycle” of destruction.
Love & Respect is a must for all traditional marriages. Whether our relationships are six months old or sixty years young this book will without a doubt help make sense out of most every relationship issue. Eggeriche’s book should be required reading by married couples as well as those who counsel them.
Dr. Eggeriche’s book covers so many areas of spousal importance that it is almost “A Marriage Manual for Life.” Love and Respect is a comprehensive compilation for creating an enduring relationship. Rarely does a book personally inspire me as this did. Please know that I would consider it an honor to work with Dr. Eggeriche on any of his future works. Well done!

I agree with you about this book by Eggerichs. It gives a lot of meaning to Scripture’s commands about marriage. I am hoping to get back into this book soon because of all the good information it has.
It is really something. I married a couple this weekend and refered to some of the information during my speach. Love is admiration and respect is consideration. I think a lot of people misunderstand what respect is. It not at all what they demand in all those mafia movies like “Bronx Tale.”
The wedding went really well. I did something very similar to the “Its Our Garden” story. Women were coming up to me all night telling me It had them in tears. I love when God inspires us to write something that speaks to people. He sure has a way with Words.
