Book Recommendation

I have decided to post about the books I've read and offer a short commentary on them, leaving it open for people to offer additional comments.

Last year, I read the book "Love and Respect," by Emerson Eggerichs. It was both a sobering discovery and a refreshing truth. The book is based on a single truth that springs from Ephesians 5:33, "However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." The message is simple: men's greatest need is for respect, and women's greatest need is for love. When this is ignored or misunderstood, relationship problems abound. Although this book was written primarily for married couples, great insights can be used for any relationship with a person from the opposite sex: parents, children, friends, dating relationships. This has been -in my estimation- the best book that I've read about this topic since Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages.
