Terrific addition to Emerson Eggerichs' Love and Respect. This workbook and book are perfect gifts for any Christian that has been married for awhile or considering marriage. I found it very helpful to use these workbooks to walk through the book with my boyfriend (now my fiance) ;o).

Each section covers a few chapters at a time and has plenty of space for notes and answering the questions. My boyfriend and I were able to do this workbook long distance over Facetime/Skype (more personal with video) and learned so much about ourselves, our past marriages, and who we truly want to be now.

Most importantly, I learned why it is so important for a man to feel respected rather than just shown love. I struggled a bit with the work book at the beginning, but soon found that showing respect is a way of showing love...but the way he receives it is through respect. Very life changing and highly recommended!!!!! With the changes I continue to make, I find myself empowered not burdened with my role in showing my future husband respect. I have seen the changes in how he is treating me too and sometimes we have to have a laugh about seeing things through pink or blue. :)

Best book I have ever read that actually shows men how thier wives need to be shown love and shows wives how their husbands need to be shown respect.

Dr. E and his wife uses scriptures to back up everything they teach in this book, So powerful and helpful for those considering getting married, for newlyweds, and for those who have been married forever. I wish someone would have given me this book many years ago.

We also attended one of their live conferences.

My huband and I give them book to couples for their anniversaries to this day.
100% recommend.

This workbook was quite helpful in processing the information and practices that the book offers. I was able to complete this with my husband. Many of the questions though have you go back to the book and write down what was said, which I didn’t really care for as much since I keep my own notes as well.

This book stays aids in making Eggerichs' Love and Respect even more valuable. Husband and wives should read this book together (well, most of it) before marital problems begin. It is a good premarital counseling resource. Our marriages should reflect the Christianity that we bear. This book will help the husband and wife live that out.

Wonderful book. So many good teachings that are laid out in this book. I have referred this many times to couples wanting to strengthen their relationship.

love this book, its old school but its perfect

[Samantha · Rating 1 out of 5]

This workbook doesn't so much ask questions that add to the reading of the companion book as it gives lengthy restatements of what the author has already stated in the chapters and then asks the reader, "So, what did you think of this section." Each session has far too many verbose questions, that turn this study into a chore to do rather than a joy to look forward to. The first session that explains the idea behind love & respect was interesting, but the rest of the book that delved deeper (sort of) was just repetitive and difficult to get through.

If you have a troubled marriage and do not understand how to speak to your spouse or understand their point of view, this book may help. For our small group of happily married couples, it was boring and repetitious.

See my review of Love & Respect here.

Absolutely loved this book. I really try my hardest to follow his advice to better my marriage. I loved his writing, easy to follow and read. Made a lot of sense and it improves my marriage and illiminates fights that could have been bad.

Very good book on what we tend to not see as needed from spouse to spouse. While women need Love, men need Respect. But it's not always that simple.
