No other book does what this book does so well: A husband talks with wives about their husbands needs, and a wife talks with husbands about their wives needs. Barbs chapter about a wifes need for emotional intimacy and Garys chapter about a husbands need for spiritual connection are worth the price of the book. This book will change your marriage!

Each time Ive heard Gary speak, my heart has been moved. Yours will be too as you read this book.

Gary and Barb Rosberg are true champions for Christ. Just being around them, talking to them, laughing with them, you sense purpose. I love these folks! I love them not only for the thousands of people they have helped with their timely words, but also for what they have done for my own marriage. Gary and Barbara will challenge you to go to the next level in this great book. May their words take us to higher heights in God.

What a helpful resource full of vivid examples and great advice! I believe The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women will help any couple have an exciting, fulfilling and passionate marriage.
BILL MCCARTNEY, PRESIDENT OF PROMISE KEEPERS AND AUTHOR (WITH HIS WIFE, LYNDI) OF SOLD OUT TWO-GETHER
The bride-and-groom dream of happily ever after frequently dissolves into a baffling illusion. For many spouses, it is unhappily today and tomorrow and tomorrow... The quiet question pulsates: What in the world does my spouse expect? This book distills the answers. With clear language and logical sequence Barb and Gary show how marriage can make long-term sense. Newlyweds will cherish their wisdom; older couples will applaud the opportunity to make a much-needed review of their relationship. This book should never just fill up shelf space; these pages must be read, reread, underlined and practiced.
DR. HOWARD G. HENDRICKS, CHAIRMAN OF THE CENTER FOR CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP AND AUTHOR OF COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES, AND JEANNE W. HENDRICKS, AUTHOR OF WOMEN OF HONOR
I came to the reading of The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women totally biased. I not only love and respect Gary and Barb, but I also continue to be impressed with their ministry, Americas Family Coaches. So I was not in the least surprised to find them tackling tough marital issues with their characteristic straightforward, down-to-earth, Hey, you can do this practical suggestions.
As they share their own times of insecurity and uncertainty, readers feel comforted and grateful not to be talked down to. Were all in the same boat, which occasionally threatens to capsize. The Rosbergs warm, caring, encouraging voices reassure us that in Christ, all things are possible.
This is one of the finest books Ive read about the intricacies and challenges of marriage. Buy an armload. Keep one and give the rest away. The homes of America will be healthier, happier places as a result!
MARILYN MEBERG, WOMEN OF FAITH SPEAKER AND AUTHOR OF ID RATHER BE LAUGHING
Powerful. Practical. Encouraging. Full of hope. In The 5 Needs of Men and Women, our dear friends Gary and Barbara Rosberg have given us an engaging, wonderful resource that will help us to build marriages that will go the distance. The chapters in which Barbara speaks as a wife to husbands, and Gary speaks as a husband to wives are heartfelt and practical. You will be moved and encouraged to make your marriage everything that God designed it to be. This book needs to be in the hands of every couple!
DR. CRAWFORD W. LORITTS JR., ASSOCIATE U.S. DIRECTOR OF CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CHRIST, AND KAREN LORITTS, COAUTHOR OF LEAVING A GODLY LEGACY
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. Ive 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 cant think of a couple wed rather counsel with than the Rosbergs which is why we loved their book on meeting your spouses needs so much! Youll also love the wise counsel on loving each other!
DR. JOHN TRENT, PRESIDENT OF ENCOURAGING WORDS AND AUTHOR OF CHOOSING TO LIVE THE BLESSING
One of the most important questions in every marriage is: How do we love our spouse? The Rosbergs have the answer!

The Rosbergs expose and explain the often unexpressed needs in the hearts of husbands and wives. With grace and compassion, they offer every spouse the route to a long and happy marriage.
MICHAEL MEDVED, NATIONAL RADIO TALK-SHOW HOST AND USA TODAY COLUMNIST, AND DR. DIANE MEDVED, AUTHOR OF THE CASE AGAINST DIVORCE
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 Barbs insightful book but also to their lives. And trust me. They know what they are talking about!
PATSY CLAIRMONT, WOMEN OF FAITH SPEAKER AND AUTHOR OF I LOVE BEING A WOMAN AND STARDUST ON MY PILLOW
The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women is vintage Rosberg chock full of very specific suggestions and tools for husbands and wives. Youll be reminded of the needs of your spouse and then given practical steps in meeting those needs. Gary and Barb write honestly regarding the needs we all have in our marriages.
DR. STU WEBER, AUTHOR OF FOUR PILLARS OF A MANS HEART AND TENDER WARRIOR
This book holds the power to radically impact your relationship. Gary and Barbs extraordinary insight into the love needs of men and women provides an excellent guide to understanding the love of your life.
DR. GARY SMALLEY, DIRECTOR OF THE SMALLEY RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND AUTHOR OF SECRETS TO LASTING LOVE
With clear understanding of the realities of married life, coupled with a careful 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.
DR. TONY EVANS, SENIOR PASTOR OF OAK CLIFF BIBLE FELLOWSHIP, PRESIDENT OF THE URBAN ALTERNATIVE, AND AUTHOR OF WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY?
Legitness Webster didnt coin the word; Gary and Barb did. In down-home, Iowa farm-boy language, legitness means integrity to the core. This couple is the real thing. Their ministry is legit. Their personal, home life is legit. If, after reading this book, my marriage and yours can be half as good as theirs, we better put one of these books in every room in our houses.
DR. JOE WHITE, PRESIDENT OF KANAKUK KAMPS, INC. AND AUTHOR OF FAITHTRAINING
