The 10 Week Couples Kit includes the Love and Respect Conference DVDs and two companion workbooks. The 10 Week Small Group Kit includes the Love and Respect Conference DVDs and ten companion workbooks.

The 10 Week Study uses the DVDs of the complete Love and Respect Conference. This study walks you through the entire conference. The study is broken down into 10 sessions (32-49 minutes each). Each week you will fill in the blanks in the workbook as you watch the DVDs. Discussion questions and a mid-week devotional are included for each session.

The Building Blocks uses a different DVD Set. It is not a recording of a Live Love and Respect conference, but is a series filmed at Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale. Throughout this series Emerson unpacks five of the life changing principles that he presents at the Love and Respect conference. Each DVD Session begins with Emerson giving a 10-20 minute overview of the concept for that week, followed by a short discussion time. Emerson then gives a 10-20 minute teaching on how to apply the concept to each of the Love and Respect cycles, followed by more discussion prompted by the study guide questions.

Only Spanish subtitles are on the Spanish DVD set. English subtitles are not included.

We strongly recommend that each person receives their own workbook to use throughout the series. However, if the group is trying to save money on the number of workbooks, couples can share a workbook. The workbook contains blanks that you fill in as you’re watching the DVDs, so a couple can share as long as they are comfortable with only one person being able to fill in the blanks.

Many of our past video series are available on DVD, including the Love and Respect conference. To receive the conference on DVD you need to order the 10 Week Love and Respect Conference DVDs via our store. Any new videos we produce (2018 moving forward) are available online only.

2. There is no free-trial to the site with a single course subscription.
3. Your subscription will renew at the end of one year.
