Love and Respect resources available

Love and respect resources availableWe were blessed to have 110 people attend last month’s Love and Respect marriage seminar. What a wonderful thing it was that so many couples in and around our church were willing and able to take the time to focus on building more Christlike marriages! I have heard from numerous couples that this was a helpful weekend for them. I trust God will continue to use what we have learned for the deepening of our relationships.

Love and Respect Ministries provides a variety of great DVD and book resources for further learning and growth. We have purchased three of these resources for our church library:

Love and respect resources availableThe Love and Respect Book – Much of the material of the conference came from this book. In it, Dr. Eggerichs explains how, in times of conflict, women often tend to react to feeling unloved while men often tend to react to feeling disrespected. This is a very insightful perspective with helpful advice about how to communicate in a more helpful way, especially in times of disagreement or tension.

Love and Respect Experience – This is a devotional book for couples, cited as “a husband-friendly devotional that wives truly love.”

Respectfully Yours – This is an 8-week Women’s DVD Small Group Study. It includes 2 DVDs with 8 teaching sessions as well as Leader’s Guide and Study Guide.

These resources are in the library now, ready to be accessed by you!

Key to a Great Marriage – Love and Respect

Love & Respect Webby Steve Morris

Attention all married couples, as well as those dating, separated, single or divorced!

On February 20th and 21st we will be holding the Love and Respect video marriage conference at WRBC. We are hoping that many from our church and community will take this opportunity to come and learn how to enrich their marriages, how to save them, or how to build them well from the start. 

The Love and Respect conference is conducted by world renown speakers Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife Sarah. This dynamic and life-changing conference is impacting the world, resulting in the healing and restoration of countless relationships. 

What is Love and Respect?  These two words surface in the Bible from Ephesians 5:33 as the two key ingredients for a successful marriage. They teach that love best motivates a woman and respect most powerfully motivates a man. Dr. Emerson’s research reveals that during marital conflict a husband most often reacts when feeling disrespected and a wife reacts when feeling unloved. They asked 7000 people this question: when you are in a conflict with your spouse or significant other, do you feel unloved or disrespected?  83% of men said “disrespected”. 72% of women said, “unloved”. 

Though we all need love and respect, the felt needs differ during conflict and this difference is as different as pink is from blue!

Register, come and attend, and you will learn how to resolve conflict, dealing with the negative reactions. You will also learn how to motivate each other by meeting each other’s needs. Even if you feel helpless in your relationships you will grow in your understanding on how to handle an indifferent or unresponsive partner. 

The cost of the weekend is only $15 USD per person, if you register by February 9th. $20 per person after February 9th. This includes refreshments and a lite lunch on Saturday

Registrations can also be paid directly to the church via check when you sign up in the foyer.
