I just started reading a really great book and I think I’m going to share some nuggets with you guys from time to time. The book is “Love & Respect”, by Christian pastor Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. He’s been a pastor and marriage counselor for a number of years and he’s part of the Focus on the Family family so you already know it has to be good stuff.
The gist of the book is that wives have a strong need for love from their husbands and husbands have just as strong a need for respect from their wives. We’re reading a chapter a week in our married couples Sunday school class and having some really lively discussion by a group of dynamic teachers.
So take this verse in and digest it. Pray over it and see what you think when it comes to beginning to know your roles in a solid marriage.
Ephesians 5:33, “Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband” (NIV).
