Cracking the Communication Code Workbook: The Secret to Speaking Your Mate's Language
An in-depth study of the vital principles from the best-selling Cracking the Communication Code now in workbook form.
Communication between couples has been dissected in thousands of books and articles so why does it remain the number one marriage problem? "Because," says Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, "most spouses don't know that they speak two different languages. They are sending each other messages in 'code, ' but they won't crack that code until they see that she listens to hear the language of love and he listens to hear the language of respect." Dr. Eggerichs' best-selling book, Love and Respect, launched a revolution in how couples relate to each other. Now with the Cracking the Communication Code companion workbook, the message of this hardcover trade book can be studied and applied whether for a group or for individual couples. The result will be better communication, mutual understnding, and a successful godly marriage.

He elaborates on his other book, Love and Respect, but gives a very good overview in case you haven't read it (which I haven't [yet?]). He uses those basic principles and applies them practically to communicating with your spouse. However, I felt that the book primarily spoke to how to interpret what your spouse says and then respond but did not spend enough time on specifically talking about being proactive in showing love or respect through your communication. To be fair, he doesn't ignore the proactive versus reactive aspect of communication, but I felt that it could have been more balanced. Overall, I liked the book and learned a lot.
