Ephesians 5:33 reads, “However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” And research done by Shaunti Feldhahn in 2006 demonstrates that "respect" is one of the most critical needs a man has in a relationship.
Have you ever wondered, “How can I possibly respect my husband?” Or, “Isn’t there MORE to being married?”
There is more.
We can help you become stronger, figure out the respect thing (it's not what you think) and become more connected to God and your husband.
More than half of marriages end in divorce in the United States, and many women that stay married are unhappy.
The Respect Dare can change all that. It is forty days of an experience that will take away the mystery that is keeping you from speaking the language of respect with your husband. It provides real life examples from women who have developed closer relationships with God and their husbands. In it, you will learn:
- How to build confidence;
- Methods to positively handle conflicts;
- Keys to better communication;
- How to develop a more intimate connection with your spouse;
- Ways to deepen your relationship with God;
- And much more!
Learn the language of respect and truly connect to the man you married with The Respect Dare.
"Doing the dares" with a small group of women has excellent benefits, providing accountability, encouragement, and discussion.
What Christian Leaders Have to Say about "The Respect Dare:"
Dr. Kevin Leman, best-selling author of "Have a New Husband by Friday:"
“Nina’s insightful steps in The Respect Dare help you along the path to a better marriage. Walk along this successful path traveled by many women to find growth and fulfillment. Take the first step, I dare you.”
Shaunti Feldhahn, best-selling author of "For Women Only: What you Need to Know about The Inner Lives of Men:"
"Believe it or not, most men need respect so much that, if they had to, they would give up love to get it – and respect empowers them to be the caring man you most need. One of the most important things you can ever do for your man – and thus for yourself -- is to read this book. From the first page you are an active participant as you go through daily scripture, self-reflection, prayer journaling and lots of ‘now I get it!’ examples. Think Nike slogan “Just Do It:” each day you find yourself DOING respect – not just thinking, praying, talking or reading about it – but DOING it. You will find your habits seamlessly changing into new ways of relating that will feel as wonderful and life-changing to you as to him."
Pastor Mark Gungor, best-selling author of, "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage:"
"Women need to affirm, encourage and respect their husbands with their actions and words—and sometimes it is with the lack of words that is most powerful, if you catch my drift! Respect can be shown both by what you say and often times by what you don’t say.
Many times when I speak of this to women, they launch into 20 questions: What does respect mean? What does it look like? How do I show it? What if he doesn’t deserve it? The list goes on and on. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, or no recipe or steps to follow, understand that the whole concept of respect has more to do with you than it has to do with him.
I encourage all women to accept this respect challenge and find out if I’m right. What do you have to lose except a whole lot of selfishness, bitterness and unrealistic expectations? On the other hand, you have a great opportunity to gain greater understanding, self-confidence, joy and a better relationship with God and your husband.
Go ahead, I dare you. You won’t regret it."
