TESTIMONIALS

For the past five years, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has presented the Love and Respect marriage conferences to thousands of couples.  His unique, biblically-based teaching is changing lives, restoring bad marriages and making good ones better.  The following testimonials are unsolicited remarks from husbands and wives who have taken the Love and Respect message to heart.

 “I feel like I have received a precious gift – the ability to better understand my husband’s deepest needs.  I always wanted to meet them, but did not understand how.”

“This is something that neither of us had ever heard before. 
It really affected how we both listened, interacted and loved each other.”

“I am sad that I have been married twenty-two years and just now understand the Respect message.  I wrote my husband two letters about why I respected him.  I am amazed at how it has softened him in his response to me.  I have prayed for years that my husband would love me and speak my love language.  But when I began to speak his language, he responded with what I wanted.”

“I can honestly say that seminar changed my life—our lives—forever…we were on the verge of divorce.  As Christians, we both knew that this wasn’t right and was not God’s will for us but we seemed incapable of identifying our problems, let alone overcoming them.”

“We would get along great UNTIL he would do or say something I didn’t respect, and I would not respond with respect toward him.  Now I acknowledge his feelings, even when I think they are nuts, and give him more respect, and as a result he feels more loving.  It is really as simple as you explain it.  I understand now what it does to a man when you disrespect him.  I understand that to take away his respect is to take away the lifeline to my own needs for connection.”

“Just a few days ago, I decided to tell my husband that I respect him.  If felt so awkward to say the words, but I went for it and the reaction was unbelievable!  He asked me why I respected him.  I listed off a few things, and I watched his demeanor change before my eyes.”

“I know my wife truly loves me, but because she practices giving me respect on a daily basis (sometimes I’m not respectable), I have been able to feel fulfilled and my home is by far the best place I want to be at any given time.  We are sure that this teaching will revive and restore many marriages.”
