Based on the groundbreaking principles taught in Dr. Emerson Eggerichs' best seller Love and Respect, he along with his wife, Sarah, bring the message to life, teaching couples how to achieve a brand-new level of intimacy as they learn to:  Stop the Crazy Cycle; Initiate the Energizing Cycle; Enjoy the Reward Cycle.

 

For the past 35 years, we have heard much about love, but the divorce rate has continued to rise.  Eggerichs says, “The major problem which I heard from wives was ‘He doesn’t love me.’ Wives are made to love, want to love, expect love. Many husbands fail to deliver. But as I kept studying Scripture and counseling couples, I finally saw the other half of the equation. Husbands weren’t saying it much, but what they were thinking was, ‘She doesn’t respect me.’ Husbands are made to be respected, want respect, expect respect. Many wives fail to deliver.”  As a result, two good-willed people end up on what Eggerichs calls the Crazy Cycle:  without love she reacts without respect; without respect he reacts without love. It is a painful, negative cycle that has thousands of couples spinning out of control.

 

Through extensive biblical and psychological research, the former pastor discovered this often overlooked, if not ignored, truth in Ephesians 5:33. The Apostle Paul writes, “Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see to it that she respect her husband.” Eggerichs is helping women discover that they can fulfill their deep need to be loved by giving their husband what he most needs – respect.

 

This marks the second year that Fellowship Bible Church has hosted this event, and organizers say it’s definitely making a difference. “No matter if you’re engaged to be married, recent newlyweds, or have been married for a number of years there’s always room to improve on the way you communicate with your spouse,” said Nathan Price, a member of the Elder Board. “The information presented in this conference is revolutionary, and can help men and women achieve intimacy like never before.”
