She is single, age 75, with three failed marriages behind her. I recently married for the 4th time. You can see our motivation in those statistics!<br /><br />We both admit that if we had known, accepted and acted on the teachings of Emerson Eggerichs - we would not be divorced. I am overjoyed to bring what I am learning into a new(ish) marriage. <br /><br />The effects are powerful - in the marriage relationship, in my husband's growth in Christ, and in my understanding of men's communication in general.<br /><br />Keep at it. I promise you that it is SO worth it. Even when the husband is not joining you in your study. Your behavior will cause an incredible chain reaction in your marriage.Sharon Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888969860359917900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168522164825399504.post-90878918776050388222010-07-12T23:50:12.093-05:002010-07-12T23:50:12.093-05:00Five years ago, when my husband and I were going t...Five years ago, when my husband and I were going through a difficult patch, we read this book. Every afternoon, we would head to the park with our chairs and read a loud to each other. I would read one page and he would read the next. We would stop along the way, anytime something would be stirred up.(We had never read to each other before and I don't think we have since.)<br /><br />I thought I was a pretty respectful wife, but I learned ways that I wasn't being respectful. It made a big impact on us.<br /><br />I actually think the book was poorly written (sorry!), but God sure used it! <br /><br />We no longer struggle in this area, but I do ask my honey every once in awhile, "am I doing anything that makes you feel disrepected?"<br /><br />I applaud you wanting to learn from this book.
