daisychics Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What an eye-opener! I just got it from the library today. l've read Ephesians 5:33 alot but I never noticed that it specifically says "Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." When a man feels disrespected, he reacts in ways that is unloving to his wife. Then when a woman feels unloved, she reacts in ways that feels disrespectful to her husband. "Aha!" Our men need R-E-S-P-E-C-T. It should've been sung by a man. :001_smile: Okay, that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaNY Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yes, really. It is right up there with oxygen. :001_smile: "The heart of her husband safely trusts her..." "...She will do him good, and not harm all the days of her life." A man who feels respected is a man who feels loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 relationship for the better. That is a good book. Certainly worth reading and gleaning what you can from it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuelsMommy Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Seconding the recommendation for Love and Respect. I think the author is Emerson Eggerichs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abreakfromlife Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 isn't that a fantastic book? I've heard Love and Respect is good, too. I have it but have never read it :001_huh: That has helped our marriage so much, especially after seeing my parents. My dad is amazed that we can take 24 hour road trips and not kill each other :lol: I love being relaxed now when we're lost somewhere. Although it still drives me up.a.wall that dh can really be thinking about nothing. I just can't fathom how that is possible :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisychics Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 It was written by Otis Redding. He really was asking for respect! Well... there you go, that makes sense. :D I also borrowed the Love and Respect book. I'm only on chapter 2.... I've been doing the wrong things to dh. Poor guy. I was just telling him a few days ago: Me: Uh-oh, you have that face again. Dh: What face? Me: When you're spaced out... Dh: oh. that's it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I love both books--For Men Only and For Women Only. My friends and I thought it was hilarious that the FMO book included a "Quick-Start guide," since many men just want to cut to the chase in reading "those" type of books, and a section for the women who would be reading the book! Neither are found in the FWO book! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
