![]() ![]() There is nothing wrong with a book being simple – that is, presenting concepts in an easy to understand way. ![]() in the book proclaims what is different about the Love & Respect book: “Many books on marriage stress the need for husbands to love their wives, but the unique feature about this book is the concept of wives showing unconditional respect towards husbands.” – I will let that speak for itself.įirst, this book is simplistic. Problems in your marriage? The answer is that the female has failed to show unconditional respect to her husband. The premise of this book is based on a verse in Ephesians 5 that says: “ each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” Pulled from this is a rigid paradigm that “women need love and men need respect” and this is literally and exclusively taken as the key for marriage. This could be a multi-part review, but I will try to focus on key concerns and keep it to one post of reasonable length. Yet, when something gains popularity it can unfortunately be accepted at face value without much discernment because of its ubiquitous nature. ![]() In one sense, this leaves me scratching my head in puzzlement as the problems in this book are overt. Love & Respect hardly needs an introduction, having sold over 1 million copies – this book and its premises are a commonplace perspective in many evangelical churches, marriage ministries, and among Christian counselors. ![]() Love & Respect, The Love She Most Desires, The Respect He Desperately Needs by Dr. ![]()
