"LOVE AND RESPECT"

"However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." Ephesians 5:33

Men, if you and your lady are in a serious relationship, engaged to be married, or a married couple, I want to bless you and that special lady in your life by recommending a must-read book entitled "Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires - The Respect He Desperately Needs" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. This book isn't new, and over its tenure, more than two (2) million copies have been sold. I call the book timeless because it will never get old or lose its relevance. If you genuinely want to see your relationship blossom, I highly recommend you read this book. 

How many sermons, small group studies, and couples ministries have you heard talk about the importance of the husband loving his wife unconditionally? I'm sure you will likely respond hundreds of times. How many sermons, small group studies, and couples ministries have you heard talk about the importance of the wife respecting her husband unconditionally? You will likely respond very few times. The heart and soul of this book take a balanced approach to the husband's commanded responsibility to unconditionally love his wife and the wife's commanded unconditional responsibility to respect her husband. As you prepare to read this book, I want to share two (2) famous quotes with you:

The true measure of a man is how he unconditionally loves his woman publicly, and when no one is watching.

The true measure of a woman is how she unconditionally admires (respects) her man when he does well and when he falls short of her expectations. 

As you set aside time to prepare for what life has in store for you today, please carry this Discipleship Devotional in your spirit, heart, and mind. In addition, remember these words:

"Show respect even when people don't deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but a reflection of yours."

"Husbands, love your wives well! Your children are noticing how you treat her. You are teaching your sons how they should treat women and you are teaching your daughters what they should expect from men." Dave Willis
