Ask any man if RESPECT matters to him... most likely he'll respond with a resounding, "Absolutely!"
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 really 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! .
..
After The Respect Dare came out in spring
of 2009, we received an email from a woman who was struggling in her marriage. And she was struggling to complete the
dares. Our hearts went out to her and we so desperately wanted to do something to help her as she obeyed God, did hard
things, and moved forward in learning to respect her husband and why that matters. . One of our Greater Impact team members suggested we create
an e-course and walk along side these women as they go through the dares. We thought we'd give it a try. . We were literally blown away by what happened. . We went back to our struggling wife, and
said, "Please come play with us through this, please try again, but this time, not alone." When the 9
weeks were up, she had this to say: . I started the book before starting the online course, so when the right time came
I looked at my 6 statements. When I read what I had written, I was amazed to see that God answered each one, exactly
as it was written. God gave me exactly what I asked for. I didn't ask for much, because any improvement at that point would
have been a 180 degree turn around. You see my husband was still seeking a divorce then. I had asked for simple things that
would have been small steps forward in a marriage that was not being threatened. Really small things. But any progress meant
that we had to stop, turn around, and go the right way.
I read through my list for week 9 and realized that God
did exactly, word for word, what I wrote down. When I wrote it, I didn't really believe that it would happen. I knew that
God was capable, but I just couldn't imagine my husband being willing. The biggest thing for me was to see that God does things
in my life to the exact degree of my faith in Him.
. 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! .
Desire deeper connection with God while making it better?
. Keep reading… .

Since The Respect Dare book was released
in May 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.
. .
We
want to help in an even bigger way.  . Greater Impact Ministries has just added our first online opportunity: The Respect Dare™
E-Course with author, Nina Roesner - 9 weeks of community and encouragement. Walk through the book
as she challenges you to make positive changes in your marriage and shows you how to improve intimacy with God. . From the Amazon.com website:
 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. ..
Many
people pick-up a book like The Respect Dare wanting to make a difference, but find that at some point they
have difficulty keeping the momentum going. Time with Nina will include valuable video teaching segments
as well as personal, practical insights in how to best implement change that will be lasting.
The group experience will allow you to not only learn from Nina, but let others be part of the journey, spurring you
on to success!. . We’re letting you know we have just a few spots available for this online e-course
opportunity. Once we reach 25 participants, the course is full. The classes fill fast – join the women who have grown in their marriages and faith through Nina's Daughters of
SarahTM program. Learn what happens when wives are given the keys to making
a deeper connection with their husband and their God. ...... . Right now we’re offering the course at a discounted introductory 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! Because
when we aren't respectful to our husbands, we 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. That's why there's 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 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 and communication behaviors, 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. So share this with your friends who desire: - Great examples
of how to do marriage well
- A
deeper connection with God
- Understanding of
the value of “Respect” in a marriage
