Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy.

A weak overview
As someone with a background in nursing and mental health, there was no new information or concepts here. I suppose if you have NEVER considered what it means to be in a long term legal commitment with another person, it's a good idea to read something, but I'm not sure this is the best. They just reference all the other relationship experts out there.
