When Dr. Eggerichs conducted the same survey with women, a similar percentage of women responded that they would rather feel disrespected and inadequate than alone and unloved. Dr. Eggerichs sums up his findings:
I find it very difficult to shake the idea that I married the wrong person, even though, I do actually love him as Michal loved David. Unfortunately, reading your synopsis of that story actually spoke to me because it illustrated that what inspires respect or disgust in us can run deep emotionally; seeing her husband behave in a certain way repelled her and embarrassed her. Perhaps this is a matter of taste and compatibility?
Read book Love amp; respect : the love she most desires, the respect he desperately needs by Emerson
If a woman loves and respect her husband and made a mistake once in not respecting him. Is it right for the husband to embarrass his wife in front of a visitor. Shouting to her and walking out of the house staying two nights presumably at a hotel. Can you please advise on this. Thank you.
But anyway, this book delivered on what I expected and more. I was promised a genderbent Sleeping Beauty retelling, and I love how the story built on that initial concept. The world gives me classic fairytale vibes with a twist, and I got some light nostalgia for Once Upon a Time while reading this, what with all the myriad references and archetypes.
In his original sample of 400 males, 74 percent said that if they were forced to choose, they would prefer feeling alone and unloved rather than feeling disrespected and inadequate (p.49). He collected data on a female sample and found that a comparable majority would rather feel disrespected and inadequate than alone and unloved.
The first phase of data collection for The Lifestyle Poll was based heavily on a Harvard college graduate sample. In this group of 300 women, 75 percent reported that they would rather feel alone and unloved than disrespected and inadequate.
In the first chapter of the Gospel according to St. John, we read thattwo disciples of John the Baptist heard their master bear witness tothe divinity of Jesus. Said the Baptist, referring to Jesus walkingalone in the distance, "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away thesin of the world." One of the two disciples who heard this testimonyis named; he was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.[1] The other isnot named. Indeed throughout the entire book, which undoubtedly, waswritten by St. John, himself, the name of John, son of Zebedee, isnever once written. In the account of the Last Supper, we read of a"disciple whom Jesus loved," who sat so near the Lord that his headcould rest on Jesus' bosom. 2ff7e9595c
