Husband and Wives/Love and Respect

I hope you all enjoyed the sermon yesterday! I owe a large part of my understanding about godly marriage to my mother and step-father. They have taught and counseled many couples at their church for over 10 years now -- teaching them to imitate our Lord's sacrificial love in their marriages. For all their work, and for what they have taught me, they deserve to be recognized. Thank You!

One of the books my parents have found insightful for the couples they teach is Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (and his wife). This book takes a deeper look at what "love" means to a wife, what "respect" means to a husband, and how we can give them to our spouses.

Another book I have found especially helpful is The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller. His book deals with broader issues concerning marriage. Whether you're married, planning to be married, or even if you're single, this one is definitely worth reading.
