I read the book Love and Respect of a Lifetime written by Dr. Emerson Eggrichs, the book talks about how man needs respect and a woman needs love in a marriage. Its a anthology of excerpts from his best-selling title Love and Respect, together with Scripture quotations. This version is suppose to be a gift album version with thick color glossy pages. Although the book is a nice book for some couples, I personally felt that the first numbers pages seemed highly repetitive. It seemed liked the author kept repeating how a man needs respect and a woman needs love and if you get that the marriage will work. And that is true to a certain extent, but I personally feel I need both in my life not just love to just respect. And there is a whole more to marriage then just respecting and loving each other, and my opinion is coming from 14 years of marriage and 4 children. Once you get pass these pages he does go into a little further detail, such as giving hypothetical examples of couples in real life situations. There were also some tips that he gave on how to give love and respect, but for me the tips that was given was something you should already know. All and all its a cute little book to give as a gift for maybe a newlywed couple.
