Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires, the Respect He Desperately Needs PDF Print E-mail

By Emerson Eggichs
Paperback - September 2004
Integrity Publishers
240 Pages

Eggerichs observes (and many men have confirmed to me) that men are upset by the thought their mates don't respect them as women are upset by the thought they are not loved. Worse, women who feel unloved withhold respect and men who feel disrespect withhold love. While other marriage books advise showing respect, this one tells how.

This book is highly recommended.

Target audiences:
engaged, married, traditional, happy, troubled, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic, childless, parents, empty nesters

Includes many Christian references, but is not based on Christian scripture. Author is a Christian minister and marriage counselor.
