This book was written by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and is based on the Ephesians 5:33"However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." He believes that couples are sending each other messages in 'code' and they won't be able to crack that code until they learn to listen in their spouse's language. The book gives examples on how to crack the code and improve communication in a marriage.
I chose to review this book because I thought it would be a great addition to my husbands library. He is getting his Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. As a resource for him I think this is a great book. It addresses several common marital issues. This book is not bias and gives great tips for both Men and Women on communicating more effectively with one another. It gives both practical and spiritual helps. I think this would be a very beneficial book if you were having marital problems.
Though I do feel that this was a good resource book, I have to admit that I had a hard time finishing it. Having attended several marriage classes in school, and reading several relationship books, I found the writing quite boring. There were not a lot of new ideas and I would most likely only use this book for resources when counseling others.
I reviewed this book for Thomas Nelson Book Reviews. These are my views and do not reflect the views of others.

Have you read his first book? Very good reading!
no I have not. i'll look into it. A book has to get me in the first chapter. But my purpose for doing these reviews is to help build my Hudbands library. that purpose is being served. it is a great resource for him.
