Love and Respect

so, for our premarital counseling, Michael and I are reading through the book Love and Respect and doing the workbook that goes with it.

I have read through the first section and am loving it. The whole concept of unconditional love and unconditional respect is so simple, and yet so hard to do. I have already seen the impact of the reading on my relationship with Michael and it's amazing.

It talks specifically about how when a woman doesn't feel loved, her natural reaction is to disrespect her husband and when a husband doesn't feel respected, his natural reaction is to not show love to his wife. When I look at my self as an example, I have to agree with this book. It knows me so well.

We have our next counseling appointment on Saturday and I'm looking forward to talking about the book with our pastor and his wife who have been married for a while and who have read through this book before. I can't wait to hear what they think about certain things and what advice they have to make these tools effective in our marriage.
