Most Helpful Customer Reviews 70 of 78 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Good principal, disappointed in tone and tangibles..., September 21, 2006 By  A. Cooper - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs (Hardcover) I thought the principal behind the book was something that will help virtually every married couple. My husband and I laughed at sections b/c we found some of the anecdotes so spot on to our daily lives. Eggerichs clearly explained to us why we keep going through the "Crazy Cycle." The Respect/Love needs in men/women is potentially a marriage saver or breaker. I have 2 constructive criticisms of the book. I still recommend this book, however I do give these caveats: 1. This book talks as if men know how to love their wives. There may be a million books out there on how to do it, but we didn't have those. My husband and I were reading this one. And I grew weary of hearing how women needed to learn to respect their husbands. Frankly, I grasped the principal within the first few pages. After a few chapters, I felt like rolling my eyes a little. Because he paid so little attention to talking about how men should love their wives, it felt like that part was very trivialized. I understand that was not the point, however, the title was "Love & Respect", not just "Respect." 2. I would have liked more tangible examples of exactly what it means to "Respect" my husband. I want to do it. And he made it clear that "nagging, complaining, and whining" at him were disrespectful. But I need more examples. What are the active things I can do? Is it disrespectful to remind my husband to take the garbage out the night before? If it is, then how do I make sure the task gets done w/out reminding him? It isn't an issue of control, but I have to get the kids out the door in the morning and I need help and I need him to do this one thing. Make sense? I need to know how to have those discussions w/out disrespecing him. I hestitate to use this as a small group book b/c it is so one-sided. And it tends to repeat itself. Again, I got the principal pretty quickly. And as good as it is, after a while, enough is enough. Another reviewer said it felt a bit like a brochure for the conference. That is exactly how I felt. A good book? Yes. A helpful principle? Absolutely. A must-read? Maybe. But definitely helpful to a Christian marriage and therefore, I do and would recommend it. 76 of 86 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, October 8, 2004 By  A reader - See all my reviews This review is from: Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs (Hardcover) A marvelous book that far surpasses earlier Christian (e.g., His Needs, Her Needs) and secular (e.g., Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) treatments of the topic. While other books have identified a variety of gender-based psychological and biological differences, Dr. Eggerich provides a framework (Love/Respect) that is beautiful for both its simplicity and its ability to explain these gender differences as part of God's plan for men, women, and marriage. Some reviewers will undoubtedly write-off the book as full of "sexist stereotypes." In contrast, I found the book to reveal profound truths that are just as relevant to someone like me - a professor at a major university who would describe her marriage as "egalitarian" - as to women who have chosen more traditional roles. 102 of 119 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A MUST READ!!, November 1, 2004 By  Chris Burge Ministries (NEW YORK, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs (Hardcover) Love and Respect is one of the finest books I have read on the topic of male female communication. As this book gains more and more exposure it will go down as a must own in Christian marriage counseling. Not only did I order the book, but I also ordered the 9 cd set on the same topic and the workbooks "Motivating Your Man God's Way. I am a single living in New York and this book contains tremendous material for singles that will prove to be invaluable once they get married. I have taught much of the content in our bible studies. The purchasing of this book may be the single greatest investment you can man make to learn about the opposite sex, and have a God centered marriage.
