You know from talking with any man that RESPECT matters
- but how does a wife do that in a way that does NOT make her feel like a doormat, and builds UP her esteem, instead of tearing
it down?? . Are you tired of feeling alone in your marriage? Are
you ready to try something different? . Are you here
because you ache for peace and joy in your marriage... and you are just so very tired of the pain? . We
know what works - we've seen lives changed, marriages turned around, and wives and husbands connecting with each other on
a whole new level. We want to help, to share that information with you and help you move towards the marriage you've
always wanted. .
And yes, ONE person CAN make a difference - you CAN become
a woman of influence in your marriage! .
.
We've seen it literally hundreds of times. You are a wife
that wants your marriage to work, wants it to be a fulfilling experience...but something went wrong along the
way, and now there's struggle and pain. . Maybe you've even read books, sat in seminars, perhaps even gone
to counseling, but you STILL feel ALONE
in your marriage... We understand - and can give you something radically different than most everything out there, but
it's been proven to work. .
Research done by Analytic Focus reveals that in the midst of conflict, 81%
of men feel disrespected by their wives. The results of this survey also indicated the following: "If
a man feels disrespected, he is going to feel unloved." (Feldhahn, For Women Only, pg 23, 2004). .  Maybe you have been feeling unloved in your marriage - it's most likely that your husband feels the same way that
you do! . Think about
it - he's hurt you, you respond. Your response hurts him, he responds... it is a painful place to be, like being a hamster
in a wheel. What if one of you just STOPPED the hurting? . What
would happen in your marriage today if suddenly your husband started behaving in ways that communicated a deep LOVE for
you? You probably wouldn't be here, with us right now! And you would respond to his love with kindness,
gentleness, patience, etc., and your marriage would be better, right? . Turn
that around - what if your communication resulted in your husband getting his deep need for respect met?
Because women are so relational and more in touch with our feelings than men are, we have to communicate "love"
in a way our husbands can hear - and this then can change everything! . We've seen it over and over again, wives who learn to speak the language of RESPECT
to their husbands turn their marriages and families around. That communicates love to them. When men feel respected (substitute
our interpretation of the word, "loved") they rise up, encouraged, confident, and becoming better husbands and fathers.
Often over time, they are significantly more loving toward us, thus turning our marriage and family completely around! .
Obviously you still love your husband some, even if it is
just a little, or you wouldn't be here trying to do something about the state of your marriage. And you want love
in return, right? . We're taught by
this culture that respect must be earned, but then we expect our husbands to unconditionally love us! What a brilliant
plan to destroy marriages - especially in the church. . We want to suggest that how
women view respect and love is different than how men view it. Research shows that overwhelmingly, men
would choose feeling alone and unloved by their wives rather than feeling inadequate and disrespected (Feldhahn, 2004).
. What? As women, most of us don't even understand how men could choose
feeling respect over feeling love! Isn't that evidence? To really connect with our husband, we need to change
some of our communication patterns! . We also want to suggest that learning to speak their language isn't that hard
- and we want you to experience what literally hundreds of women have already successfully learned...that applied
respect in a marriage can literally change everything! And we'll show you how to do it in practical ways! . Since
The Respect Dare book was released on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com,
wives around the world have been participating in the devotional, working on their
relationships, and beginning to have greater hope for their marriages. Some of these women after "doing the dare" have taken it to their churches - and are
now impacting the lives of the women in their own congregations! .
God is doing something HUGE in marriages
around the world - and we want to help in an even bigger way.
. Maybe
you've even heard Ephesians 5:33 - "and the wife should respect her husband," maybe even asked your husband if it
matters to him, and he's said, "Yes!" But you just don't know what applied respect looks like. You don't know
how. And you're not even sure that he deserves it, nor do you want to give it, because surely it makes you a doormat,
right? . We want you to know you've been lied to by the culture, that the reason it's in God's Bible is
because respect is so important, so vital to a husband! Essentially, they experience love via communicated respect. . From the author, Nina Roesner:  Women
get married with dreams, hopes and aspirations of feeling fulfilled in the most intimate of human relationships, that of marriage.
More than half end in divorce in the United States, and many women that stay married still suffer the same dismal death of
their dreams. Captive within their own relationships and feeling
inadequate in impacting the world around them, women across America daily succumb in droves to despair, depression, and addictions.
This
book is a book of real hope from real Christian wives who have learned how to honor God in their marriages, while finding
intimacy with their husbands and becoming more confident, brave, and wise as women. . Having personally experienced
this transformation within my own marriage as a result of applying the concept of respect to my relationship with my husband,
I can attest to the value of listening to Ephesians 5:33b from the Bible, which reads, “And the wife shall respect her
husband.” And what has been so frustrating is to see so many women discouraged and made to feel as though they
are second class citizens without dreams, hopes and aspirations. We just don't understand that verse or how to
apply it! . What's exciting is that
how this concept plays out in marriage isn't what we think it is...and that's a good thing because our perspectives have been
skewed. We think "respect" should be earned, and that it's demeaning - but men don't see it that way,
nor do they experience it that way! We think we're going to give something up or lose control if we show respect - and
we just don't understand the concept. As a professional
speaker for women’s groups and a creator of Daughters of SarahTM, I have seen literally hundreds of people
positively impacted by the understanding and application of the Biblical concept of respect. I believe
and pray women everywhere can positively impact their marriages by understanding these Biblical principles and learning how
to apply them - we either trust God enough to give it a try or we don't - and He always shows up when we
trust Him!
What if you had such an incredible
relationship with God, that not only could you improve your marriage or even turn it around, but you could actually find
deep and lasting peace and joy? What if YOU could have such a turn around that you become
a woman of influence, encouraging other women in their marriages? . We've seen it happen over and over again!
.. We are making all 214 pages of this revolutionary
book available as an e-book that you can get delivered to your in-box right now, for a limited
time at a small investment - only $16.00 - to help get the word out about this marriage-changing concept.
From the Amazon.com website (where the hardcover retails for $28.99): .
The stories are real. I lived part of them and watched many of them unfold through a Daughters of Sarah
course. The questions for each day's dare will require no more than 20 minutes and the impact of answering them is lasting.
The dares required each day are simple--not necessarily easy--but simple. The Respect Dare is not for the stagnant woman unwilling
to grow or learn or change. The Respect Dare is not intended to create doormat wives, either. . It's
for the dynamic woman who, flawed as she may be, wants to love and be loved and is willing to do whatever it takes to become
that woman, even respecting a less-than-perfect husband. It's written for each wife--no matter where she is in her spiritual
journey and marriage--to sharpen her marital tools in her toolbox and to deepen her spiritual journey. ~ Krista Nunez, United States
Many women walk through their marriages wanting to make a difference,
but find that at some point they have difficulty keeping the momentum going, or they fall prey to unhappiness, feeling alone,
and do not know where to turn. . Perhaps you've read
the data on divorce and know you don't want to harm your kids or go through the pain and expense only to find yourself
in another relationship with the same difficulties - but you just don't know what to do. . Or maybe your marriage is good, but you want to make it even better by discovering the intimacy God
intended between you and Him, and you and your husband. .
What could prove more helpful than tangible and practical ideas and steps as lived
by wise Christian women who are getting it right? These women have
walked in your shoes, struggled and persevered. . Watch what
happens when wives are given the keys to making a deeper connection with their husband and their God. Discover the sense of accomplishment of a difficulty overcome, the peace
and joy that surpass all understanding as they have by improving relationships with God and a husband. ...... . .  Yes, it is true that you can get the book at the big online retailers - however, our goal isn't to make money, but rather
to help women improve their marriages in significant ways - that's why we make it affordable and available here, along with
a supportive E-Course to equip and encourage wives, instead of focusing on hardcover book sales. . Right now we’re offering the e-book at a significantly discounted rate. .We
can’t wait to help wives take The Respect Dare on a deeper level! We also can't wait to
see the long-term effects of women choosing to follow Christ at a higher level. Did you know your marriage is a reflection of Christ and the church to the world? There's
a lot at stake in you and your husband's marriage not only surviving, but thriving. Because when we aren't respectful to our husbands, and when they don't show
love to us, we both misrepresent Christ and the church - marriage is more about being like Jesus than anything else.
We are called to be a reflection of the life of Christ - as God made us in His image... Ephesians 5:31-33 reads: For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his
wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. However,
each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Admittedly, this is difficult to do, especially in the culture in which we live
in. How do wives figure out how to communicate respect their husbands? Especially when we might feel he doesn't
deserve it? What does this look like in a marriage? So
many questions! That's why God led us to The Respect Dare. There's much at stake, however
- it's mind-blowing to consider that Christ's reputation is affected by our marriage. . And we want to provide an opportunity for women with good marriages to minister, to help teach others how to “get
the respect piece right” with their husbands while continuing to grow themselves. One woman said
it best, “When one way of communicating is all you know, and when everything you try just doesn't work, it's natural
to believe that things will never change.” ..
. But that's not at all true... Because God's Word is so encouraging
- in 1 Peter 3, He lets us know that we wives can even influence our husband's very salvation
by being the kind of wives He calls us to be!! How incredible is that?! . For untold thousands of years, marriage problems
resulting in divorce weren’t as rampant as they are now – the culture influences us and our marriages on a daily
basis, but with the right perspective marriages can thrive!
.. And
we’d like nothing more than for the marriage problems of today to be a thing of the past. .What if men could be emboldened to stop
being passive, step up to leadership, and confidently move forward? And what if these men had wives who felt better
about themselves and experienced intimacy with their husband and God on a deeper level? . Wouldn’t having a deeply committed marriage and family make an even greater impact for God’s glory?
Wouldn’t your very life be an even greater testimony to the power of God? . Together, we can impact the world. Maybe you have a great
marriage and just need a place where your example can minister to others – what an incredible opportunity this is for
us to work together to impact families in a generational way. Maybe you can't even think about the world, you just want
the pain to stop. Either way, in the book you'll experience: - Practical Examples!
- Deeper Connection with God!
- REAL communication with your husband!
- Ways to stop the criticism!
- An understanding of healthy marriage!
- Peace and Joy!
From Amazon.com:  Highly recommended book!, September 26, 2009 Awesome book! The Respect Dare contains a marvelous program for wives who want to learn what it
means to respect their husbands and to put their knowledge into action. The program works because it encourages wives to move
knowledge from their heads to their hearts and behavior. The program is of benefit regardless of where you are in your marriage
(newlywed versus married a long time; happily married versus struggling, etc.). In addition to the book,
an inexpensive on-line e-course is also available. This course allows small groups of women to
work the exercises in the book together and receive feedback and encouragement each week from the author, who is a gifted
mentor. This is a young ministry. As the ministry grows, it probably won't be feasible for the author to continue to provide
this kind of one-on-one feedback. I encourage all wives who buy the book to take advantage of this marvelous on-line opportunity,
too! I say that because I've received significant benefit from the book and on-line program. I recommend both without reservation.

Dare to be different, July 21, 2009 The Respect Dare is just that, a dare to respect your husband--no
matter what the outcome. The 40-day challenge begins with a gentle nudge for wives to consider the ways in which they can
grow, while focusing on a Scripture verse and a bottom line truth from real women's journeys. You'll find yourself identifying
with the "Daughter's" stories. The stories are real. I lived part of them and watched many of them unfold through
a Daughters of Sarah course. The questions for each day's dare will require no more than 20 minutes and the impact of answering
them is lasting. The dares required each day are simple--not necessarily easy--but simple. The Respect Dare is not for the
stagnant woman unwilling to grow or learn or change. The Respect Dare is not intended to create doormat wives, either. It's
for the dynamic woman who, flawed as she may be, wants to love and be loved and is willing to do whatever it takes to become
that woman, even respecting a less-than-perfect husband. It's written for each wife--no matter where she is in her spiritual
journey and marriage--to sharpen her marital tools in her toolbox and to deepen her spiritual journey. Consider The Respect
Dare as a companion on your journey along a little known, but breathtaking path: a marriage steeped in honor and respect.
I double-dog dare you. a must read, November 17, 2009 A must read for EVERY married woman, and any women who wants to be married
some day.
I love how Nina made the chapters short and sweet. EVERYONE has time to do a chapter. It can take as
little as 3 minutes if you don't want to journal with it. However I will say that keeping track of your progress (aka journaling)
is a great opportunity to visual track your progress!
I think regardless of where you are in your Christian walk, there
is always room for improvement in your marriage and you'll be surprised at just what God is asking of you as you seek His
will in your marital relationship!
