What are the most important relationships in your
life?
Your husband? Your kids? Your parents? Your girlfriends?

What’s the
key to making those relationships work? It’s communication,
isn’t it?
That’s so true in my life — especially in my marriage to Greg. One of the things I’ve learned is that no matter what words I say, I often send an underlying message too. How I speak to him — the tone I use — has big impact on what he hears. Have you experienced this with your husband?

In Ephesians 5:33, the Apostle Paul succinctly
lays out the “communication code” for a healthy marriage. He tells the husband
to love his wife, and the wife to respect her husband.
Love and Respect.
Men need respect. Women need love. It’s as simple — and as complicated — as that.
Though husbands and wives need both — in addition to many other types of emotional support — men seem to need more help learning to love their wife well. And wives often need more reminders to intentionally respect their husband.

This relationship dynamic is timeless, and it is
powerfully important for married couples like you and your husband no matter
where they come from or what their circumstances are.
That’s why Love & Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs is such a great marriage book. It’s one of my favorites! Dr. Eggerichs shows how God has designed men and women to be different but also complementary. Dr. Eggerichs also lays out some of the best practical advice for understanding and working out a balance in marriage.

I would love to send you this deeply insightful
book today for a gift of any amount. I am confident that it will encourage you
and strengthen your connection with your husband.
May God bless you and your spouse,
