What People are Saying About This

Gary Smalley

This book holds the power to radically impact your relationship. Gary and Barb's extraordinary insight into the love needs of men and women provides an excellent guide to understanding the love of your life.

John Trent

There have been lots of great partnerships in history. Lewis and Clark. The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Marris and Mantle. But when I think of great partnerships, I think of Gary and Barb Rosberg. I've known and watched these two incredible servants love, bless, and encourage hundreds of men and women over the years, starting with their own daughters. Cindy and I can't think of a couple we'd rather "counsel" with than the Rosbergs- which is why we loved their book on meeting your spouse's needs so much! You'll also love the wise counsel on loving each other!

Patsy Clairmont

Listen up! Listen in! Listen well! Gary and Barbara speak a language we all need to hear, one of enlightenment, encouragement, and emancipation. For when we grasp the principles within, we will be freed up to love deeply and well. I personally have listened in not only to Gary and Barb's insightful book but also to their lives. And trust me, they know what they are talking about!

With clear understanding of the realities of married life, coupled with a carful exposition of the Bible, Gary and Barbara Rosberg lay out the needs of husbands and wives so that couples can enjoy the highs of marriage and avoid the lows of marital infidelity.
