Love and Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs

Based on over three decades of counseling combined with scientific and biblical research, this marriage book presents the core premise that wives have a primary need to feel loved, while husbands have a primary need to feel respected. When these needs are met, both partners experience happiness. When either need goes unmet, conflict arises. The book explains why spouses react negatively to each other and offers approaches to address such conflict quickly, easily, and biblically. Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife, Sarah, have shared this message across America to help couples improve how they communicate with, think about, and treat one another. A companion workbook is available for couples, individuals, and groups seeking additional engagement with the material. The book is also published in Spanish as Amor y Respeto.
