One key word can revolutionize any marriage according to Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. Eggerichs says happiness and harmony are not achieved by love alone. Yes, LOVE is vital, especially for the wife, but a husband's need for RESPECT is equally important!
As the divorce rate among evangelical Christians has continued to rise, Eggerichs says, "The major problem, which I heard from wives, was ‘He doesn't love me.' Wives are made to love, want to love, expect love. Many husbands fail to deliver. But as I kept studying Scripture and counseling couples, I finally saw the other half of the equation. Husbands weren't saying it much, but what they were thinking was, ‘She doesn't respect me.' Husbands are made to be respected, want respect, expect respect. Many wives fail to deliver."
As a result, couples end up on what Eggerichs calls the Crazy Cycle: without love she reacts without respect, without respect he reacts without love — it is a painful, negative cycle that has thousands of couples spinning out of control. The Apostle Paul writes, "Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see to it that she respect her husband" (Ephesians 5:33).
Eggerichs left the pastorate to launch the Love and Respect Conferences in 1999, convinced that these truths could restore, strengthen and improve any marriage relationship. He and Sarah, his wife of 30 years, have shared their message with thousands of couples, and receive confirmations daily that it is working.
