Love and Respect for a Lifetime is a condensed version of all of the information found in the full Love and Respect book. I love this version because it is beautifully organized, concise, and to the point. It is filled with basic principles for making any marriage better. It doesn't matter if you have a lousy marriage or a wonderful marriage, this information can help you and your spouse love and respect each other more than you already do.

Excellent subject for a book and it is well covered. However, the subject can be covered in a few chapters and the balance of the book is repeatative.

Agreed! Men need respect just as much as women need love. But they both need love and respect. They just need to learn how to "speak their spouses language".

Took me a long time to feel like finishing this book, mostly for how repetitive it is. About halfway through, I just stopped reading all the testimonials from spouses and focused on the key points. I think this could've been edited down at least 100 pages for those two things alone.

Aside from that, I really appreciated the breakdown in the difference in communication styles between men and women and how they can use practical steps in improving how they related to one another in the languages they speak. I got a lot out of that. All the self-promotion for the conference or tapes made it hard to get through to the end, though.

This book really helped me with some personal insight work and helped me to understand my mate a little better. Even though, we are the same age and went to school together, our communication styles are very different. As he continues to share bits of his childhood trauma with me, I understand a little more but ...in the end...we just think differently.

This book helped me with that

Review written for a blog tour - http://www.cassandraland.com/2011/02/...

Extremely shortened summary - great book. But it's better to take the time to read the full copy than this gift copy. You'll get the basic idea with the gift book, but the full version is better.

Excellent book! Participated in a small group at church that utilized the dvd sessions from the Love and Respect conferences. Women truly desire love and men desire respect; once you realize this, it is easier to define the problem.

My aunt give me this book,and I must say its a very informative book,not only does it educates it also eliminates spaces for error,when it comes to relationships by giving a spiritual and intellectual prospective of what truly a man and a woman need in a relationship. An awesome read !

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Highlights from his full Love and Respect book. I wasn't going to get around to finishing the full book, so this was just the right size for me to get a taste of the principles he teaches. It was also a good reminder to me of ways that I can improve the way I talk to my husband.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although I'm not married I plan to apply these principles in this book to my future marriage

[Michelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Women and men both need love and respect. I felt the book was pretty good but was repetitive.

[Margery · Rating 5 out of 5]
