The Love and Respect Conference held on Oct. 13th and 14th was an encouragement to all who
attended. Here are some stories from the conference:Dear Vic,
This was an excellent conference. We came away energized and happy, not depressed by how much work we had to do on our marriage or how inadequate we were. My husband said it was the first time at such a conference that he did not come away feeling overwhelmed and a failure.
Emerson Eggerich is such an brilliant speaker; expressive, true, and down to earth. I don't see how his message would not benefit basically anyone in understanding the dynamics of men and women. His humor was heart warming and his life experiences and stories made it real and believable. We both thought we need that kind of person to be an ambassador in the White House!
Thanks Vic and Mo for bringing "Love and Respect" to Friday Harbor.
The Love and Respect Marriage conference really helped us to see how easy it is for each of us to misread our spouse's intentions, which caused irritation, and then less love and respect for one another.
We are now better able to recognize the trap we so easily fall into, and get ourselves out of the crazy cycle before it gets too crazy. Knowing and then recognizing that my spouse's words or actions have a completely different meaning or intent than I put on them makes it easier to forgive and leads to more understanding in our relationship.
We "stepped on each other's hoses" this morning, but were quickly able to recognize what was happening, step off, and enjoy our day together. The weekend was full of laughs and learning! We bought the DVD's so we could share them with family and friends.The Love and Respect Marriage conference really helped us to see how easy it is for each of us to misread our spouse's intentions, which caused irritation, and then less love and respect for one another.
