The Love & Respect Experience By Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
“A Husband-Friendly Devotional That Wives Truly Love”
If you’re a typical husband:
– you’re not eager to be vulnerable
– you don’t want to be corrected or enjoy opportunities to challenge your behavior
– you don’t want to schedule weekly interrogation sessions
Those concerns are addressed in the book.
This book is meant to build you up, not to break you down.
The devotions are easy to follow and quite short — 800-900 words each — three or four minutes of reading.
Tipping the Scales
When I was a child I loved black licorice, cherry licorice, chocolate, and, well, almost all candy. Candy was tasty, and in short supply in my house. Candy, I believed, brought me happiness. I wanted candy, and I needed cash to buy candy.
I picked up pennies in the ground, checked phone booths and candy machines for unclaimed change. I was always on the lookout for stray money.
Stray Money
When I was eleven or so I went with a youth leader and a group of boys for pizza. I must admit I’m not certain what my previous experiences were in restaurants, but I know what I did that night.
Cut Entitement Cultivate Gratitude
November is the month in which people gather for All Saints’ Day, Election Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving, but combined they don’t capture the attention of Americans more than “Black Sunday.”
I’m Not Opposed To Marketing, I’m Opposed To My Confused Values
Some Christian churches celebrate All Saints’ Day, and some do not. Millions of people voted on Election Day, but most people did not. Millions recognize Veterans Day and Thanksgiving, but others prefer not to celebrate holidays connected to conflicts. 1
Marketers find many ways to make money on those holidays, but they all pale in comparison to “Black Friday.”
Got Money Stress?
Please keep reading. This advice might make your life better! Seriously!
No gimmick, no scheme, no quick fix, I just found some common sense that was not common to me.
I’m not working today because I’m on a furlough. I’m not being paid to not work. The economic challenges hit TreeHouse.
At the risk of sounding like a martyr, Amy and I still struggle with the financial impact of my choice to work at TreeHouse. In 1990 during my first month at TreeHouse I made $30. As the months went by I had several paychecks of less than $200.
