This is a great book with a lot of truth. If focuses on Ephesians 5:33, "However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Eggerich points out the differences between the command to “Love” a wife, and to “Respect” the husband. I think Eggerich is on target, and delivers a very helpful look at how to love and how to give respect.
Only one problem. I have seen this book backfire. When a man reads the “respect” section of the book, or a woman reads the “love” section they will often put the book down with a sour taste in their mouth. They recognize that their spouse is not meeting this goal, and then the feel a hole. A hole that is now abundantly clear. My suggestion is for couples to ONLY read the section geared to the opposite gender. Men only read the Love sections; women only read the Respect sections. Then focus on the truths found in these pages and how you can apply them to your spouse. Read in this way I highly recommend this great resource!
