“I am sure you have all heard of the “Love and Respect” books and ministry of Emerson Eggerichs. He makes a simple observation and backs it up not only with science but more importantly with Paul’s and Peter’s specific, but separate instructions to husbands and wives. Here is the observation:”

I hate to burst your bubble but Eggerich misquoted ‘from that scientific study. He was not honest. He forced his presupposition to fit the study. As a matter of fact, he totally misrepresented the study and left out the crucial finding that negated his theme for the books.

“This demonstrates that Gottman was misquoted by Emerson Eggerich and that there is no social science or scientific support for the notion that “men need respect and women need love.” In fact, Gottman and Murray’s detailed longtitudinal study demonstrates that marital success is dependent on love and respect demonstrated in a totally symmetrical fashion.”

I went and watched the presentation of the Mathmatics of Marriage at the Royal Academy and she is right. Eggerich was dishonest.

Another point to make on Eggerich is that he and others never linked to the study. That is always a telling sign. (CBMW is notorious for doing this). They don’t want us checking things out.

Here are some links about it. http://powerscourt.blogspot.com/search?q=eggerich
