*****Love & Respect

The Love She Most Desires, the Respect He Desperately Needs

by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

Reviewed August 27, 2005.
Integrity Publishers, Nashville, 2004.  324 pages.
Sonderbooks Stand-out 2005 (#2, Relationships)

May 26, 2025 - I'm taking down this review today based on the writings of Sheila Wray Gregoire. She has determined that this book has caused more harm than any other Christian marriage book. Read her open letter about the book. And ouch - I read this book when I was desperately trying to pull my marriage back together when my husband was (secretly) having an affair - and it's painful to read now. I am no longer recommending the book.
