What a good little book. I have to admit that at times it seemed over-simplified in a forced kind of way. Maybe to appeal to the lowest common denominator, or to avoid offending. This was particularly apparent in the real-life examples that were used. However, once I caught on to the rhythm of the book I was able to skip over those parts and get right to the juicy nuggets of wisdom. The most powerful message of this book is that we all have basic God-given needs. For women, it is the need to fee

Dr. Emerson Eggerichs' book is based upon the verse Ephesians 5:33 : "However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."

In The Language Of Love & Respect you will learn how important simply communication is in your marriage and how you can crack what seems to be a complicated code.
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs explains the various cycles that take place in a marriage and how they apply to our lives. If you feel like you are in the crazy cycle, reading this book will help you head in the right direction to energize your marriage rather than drain it.

A good "reminder" of how to treat your spouse. Although we are in a "happy season" of marriage, I wanted to reference in not so happy times- I ended up buying a copy to keep on hand:)
