The Language of Love & Respect: Cracking the Communication Code with Your Mate, by Emerson Eggerichs

Discover a revolutionary solution to the primary marriage problem.

Why does communication between couples remain the leading marriage issue? “Because,” Dr. Emerson Eggerichs says, “most spouses don’t know that they speak two different languages. They are sending each other messages in ‘code,’ but they won’t crack that code until they see that she listens to hear the language of love and he listens to hear the language of respect.”

Dr. Eggerichs' bestselling book, Love & Respect, launched a revolution in how couples relate to each other. In The Language of Love & Respect, he shares a practical, step-by-step approach to how husbands and wives can learn to speak each other's distinctly different language, respect for him, love for her. The result is mutual understanding and a successful, happy marriage.
