"A friend of mine who does a lot of marriage counseling with her husband highly recommended this book to me. She said she thought it would be helpful to me even as a single person in learning how to better relate to the men around me. Although I didn't particularly care for the style of writing - it seemed very circular - I definitely came away from reading it with a greater appreciation for the importance of communicating respect toward the men in my life. I was also challenged to take responsibility for my attitudes and responses, regardless of the attitudes and responses of others."
"As far as all the Christian realtioship books that I have read this one is definately not the best,however, it gives much insight and great practical ways to get out of what Dr. Emerson call the "Crazy Cycle." Yes, more scientific research would have been nice but his foundation for his claims were from the bible and that is good enough for me. I would recommend it to any couple who want to know what the bible says about relationships."
"d and review. I am so glad that I was offered this great book.
A woman's deepest need is love but a man's deepest need is respect. If a woman feels unloved she will act in ways that her husband will feel disrespected. When a man feels disrespected he will act in ways that come across to his wife as unloving. Thus the crazy cycle begins.
I started reading this book wondering if how much I had been disrespectful and if my husband had thought of me as disrespectful. After reading several chapters I knew that indeed I have been. Our marriage of 20+ years have not always been wedded bliss. We have had our moments of arguments, disagreements and not so nice looks. This book has helped me to see what my husband needs in the ways of respect. I learned what men consider important values - C.H.A.I.R.S.- Conquest, hiearchy, authority, insight, relationship and sexuality. In these six areas, I will learn how to spell "respect" to my husband.
After finishing this book, I will definitely show respect more often to my husband because God said in the bible- Ephesians 5:33 (KJV): Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. My life study application bible states: Ephesians 5:33- The union of husband and wife merges two persons in such a way that little can affect one without also affecting the other. Oneness in marriage does not mean losing your personality in the personality of the other. Instead, it means caring for your spouse as you care for yourself, learning to anticipate the other person's needs, helping the other person become all he or she can be. The creation story tells of God's plan that husband and wife should be one and Jesus also referred to this plan.
I give this book a 5 star rating and recommend for all couples whether you are just getting married or have been married for many years. It helps us to remember what God wants us to do"
"I have always viewed books on relationships to be a little off. They always tend to lean in one direction. But I wanted to give this one a fair shot and I went into it with a clear mind.
This book revolves around the idea that women need to show respect and men need to show love. And it stops there. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I know many women that deserve respect and many men that crave love. However this isn't explored. It may have worked at some point, but men like women with a soft side, that don't just say "YES SIR"
Once I realized this would be the context of the book, I moved on and accepted that each gender would be taught how to do those specific roles. Not quite the case. This book was written to essentially teach women how to respect the man. Any man that picks up this book will not be given ways on how to love a women. They will just be reinforced on the notion that they "deserve" respect.
Eggerichs example on how women prefer pink and men prefer blue (while some do) seems a bit outdated to me. While, yes, you go into an office for a woman and it has light colours, and an office for a man is usually draped in dark wood, it's not like that is ALL they like. It made me laugh as I looked around my own office, then went to visit my husbands.
I found the following statement in this book rather irritating as well: "this is how a woman's mind works" Really? You spoke with EVERY woman. You can't even make that statement about men, how does he think it applies to women, who are typically more complex!!
I am not saying this book does not make good points. It does. But for me it was a little patronizing. And that would be fine, it is was the point of the book. But the whole point was to show BOTH sides of the issue and present them in a realistic way. A way that works with todays families. This point was missed in this book.
My advice to people, stop reading these books, and actually listed and talk to your partner."
