Ok, I am off to RethinkWhatMatters.com…..
Growing up I seen a lot of marriages come on go, including that of my parents and their other marriages. So when people had advice about marriage I would listen closely. The one thing I heard most often, was that a marriage needed “communication” to survive.
That sounds easy enough right? Well why do so many people separate from the ones they thought they would spend the rest of their lives with? Why after so much “communication” are they apart?
I learned in one of my “Effective Communication” courses there is so much more to communication than just belting out your thoughts and trying to be heard. You have to actively listen and think about your choice of words, because words can open the doors wide to conversation or slam them right in your face.
That is where the book “The Language of Love & Respect” comes in.
This book by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has answered so many questions for me. My husband and I communicate, as much as possible. But there are times when the best choice of words are thwarted by the delivery of the message.
I do my best to speak in a way that shows my love for my husband and how much I respect him. But sometimes his well intended comment is delivered in a way that doesn’t sound so loving and in turn I shut off my loving communication efforts and turn on a disrespectful tone. We both are doing these things unintentionally, but because I am hurt, I no longer speak in a loving manner and he in turn reciprocates that feeling and message.
This round about form of communication only creates frustration and continues the “Crazy Cycle” Dr. Eggerichs talks about in the book. According to Dr. Eggerichs, the wife “speaks love” and the husband “speaks respect”.
Throughout the book, Dr. Eggerichs has quotes from the bible that nicely cover the message given. What’s my Favorite? ‘As far as the Lord is concerned, men and women need each other’ (1 Corinthians 11:11 CEV). “She needs his love; he needs her respect.”
I am glad to have found this book. My husband and I can learn to speak to each other in a way that only promotes our love. Granted we are human and may on occasion forget to use the lessons learned, but more times than not “he will speak love and I will speak respect.”
I definitely recommend this book. It is well written from an author who speaks in a way that is easy to understand. He shares the values of marriage that the verses in the bible often talk about but he doesn’t preach at you.
I received this book from booksneeze.com, a site that gives you free books in exchange my honest opinion on my blog.
You have had your four-legged bundle of joy for about a month. She is such a joy, but the one thing that is driving you nuts… she keeps trying to potty in the same spot.
Why? The stuff your cleaning with gets the smell right out, doesn’t it?
Did it get the pheromone out? The pheromone is what your furry little buddy is attracted to.
Its not her fault, she is just following her nose to the spot your old cleaner didn’t really clean.
It’s time to Get Serious! and clean the odors, stains & pheromones from your home and stop the frustration.
This extractor is safe around your pets, children and birds. It is:
Non-Toxic
Biodegradable
non-flammable
non-caustic
& has no enzymes or d-Limonene
Did you know that the #1 reason for dogs to be surrendered to a shelter is “House Soiling” and the #2 reason for cats.
If your battling the repeated soiling, odor and stains, please give the Get Serious a chance.
Now if that wasn’t all good reason enough. It has other uses too. My son, poor thing, had a 24 hour bug a couple of days ago and commenced vomiting all over his bedroom floor. The GetSerious cleaner got rid of the stain and odor. I am so happy and my son is thankful that reminder is gone.
Get Serious! the Stain, Odor & Pheromone Extractor can be found at Pet Friendly stores like 1800petmeds.com who has 16 oz bottles for $11.99 and Petsmart who has 32 oz bottles for $14.99, what a great value.

I received this product in hopes that I would share my honest opinion about it.
When starting towards weight loss goals it helps to have the right tools. I was pretty happy to get my EatSmart Digital Bathroom Digital Scale to review for this give away from the nice folks at Eat Smart.
When we received this well-packaged delivery I was immediately impressed with how sturdy this bathroom scale felt and how it looked. I put the 4 AAA batteries it came with in, the digital displayed a lovely color of blue and we started to test away.
We compaired the EatSmart scale with the one I already had by placing an 8 pound weight on both and guess who was accurate? The Eat Smart scale. Here are some key points about the scale:
- The 3.5″ blue backlit LCD display was easy to read
- It can handle weights up to 330 lbs
- The scale’s weights graduate by .2 lbs
- It is Auto-calibrated so it is always accurate
- 4 AAA Batteries are included
- EatSmart has a 2 Year full warranty
The only thing I noticed that was off was the sticker said to “tap” on top of the scale to start. But mind seemed to prefer to start when I tapped it on the edge. No biggie.
I highly recommend this bathroom scale, it’s an excellent product with a trusted company who stand behind their products 100%.
The folks at EatSmart will send one lucky reader their very own bathroom scale. Here is how to enter:
