Love and Respect for a Lifetime, by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

"Women absolutely need love. Men absolutely need respect. It's as simple and as complicated as that." Love and Respect for a Lifetime is the condensed gift version of Dr. Eggrichs' book Love & Respect. It is a beautifully-bound edition filled with attractive layouts highlighting important quotes and quality stock photos illustrating the various points throughout the book. In six mini-chapters, the basic biblical principles of love and respect in marriage are stylishly presented, highlighting important truths for a healthy, God-ordained marriage.

This book is an easy read--I read it carefully cover to cover in about twenty minutes. However, there are many deep truths and important biblical principles that take time to digest, making this book a great resource for future reference. Love and Respect for a Lifetime is filled with Scripture and a healthy God-centered approach to marriage. This beautiful edition is the perfect gift for a wedding or anniversary, assuming the couple already has a desire to please God in their marriage. I would not recommend this book to a couple who are having serious marital problems, though, as it is too much of a generalized overview for that scenario. If one or the other partner is selfishly uninterested in sacrificing to make the marriage better, then it will probably take more than a series of quotes and suggestions to make a difference. However, for willing hearts and committed couples, the biblical advice in this book could make an OK marriage great! Especially from the start!
