review 1: This is a followup to the relationship book called Love & Respect. It's basically a reiteration of what was stated in the first book, but focuses on communication skills as those principles are applied. My boyfriend and I are going through the Love & Respect DVD series, which has been immensely helpful for us in terms of understanding the completely different perspectives we often come from. It was helpful to read this book while going through the DVDs, but I'd say if you've read Love & Respect, you can probably skip this one.
review 2: The Language of Love & Respect(This book was previously released as Cracking the Communication Code.)Dr. Emerson Eggerichs believes that when a woman learns to speak respectfully and a husband learns to speak lovingly, they r... moreeflect the “Jesus Way of Talking”. From various surveys and years of talking with couples, Dr. Eggerichs has found that the biggest problem in marriage is a lack of communication.If you have previously read Love & Respect, then Chapter One of The Language of Love & Respect will be a review of the Love & Respect Principles. If you’re anxious to get started on improving your communication skills, you might want to skip to Chapter Two.This book repeats some of the information from Love & Respect, but I think that the advice is definitely worth repeating. It has been proven that learning is best with repetition and unless you’ve been able to perfect your communication skills, review is always good.If you’re not aware of what the “Crazy Cycle” is, it can be summed up as this: Without love, she reacts without respect. Without respect, he reacts without love. Simple in theory, but effective when you concentrate on acting Christ-like in your marriage.While this book makes many good points, one of my favorites was that we should try to look at our spouses as Jesus sees them. Make sure that you fairly represent your spouse’s spirit – give your spouse the same grace and mercy YOU want them to give you. Successful marriages are those that look for and believe in their spouse’s goodwill. When you have unrealistic expectations in marriage, you end up having problems. Your spouse cannot meet all of your needs – only God can meet all of your needs.I do have some theological differences from the author in regards to his view of forgiveness (in Chapter 7) but overall, this book is a great resource if you are looking to improve communication with your spouse. less
