The way to fully love a husband is to respect him in ways that are meaningful to him. Respect does something to the soul of a man. God made him that way. Respect is the key to motivating a husband.
Respect is the key to truly understanding your husband and to have a joyful marriage. A wife is not a doormat when she gives unconditional respect, but a woman with power. This wife has learned the message the husband was sending…the message of being very vulnerable to her anger and contempt.
Your husband because he is your husband deserves respect. You may disagree with his judgment, you may object to the way he handles things-but according to the bible, his position alone calls you to give him proper respect. If you withhold this respect, your husband will stop hearing you.
The time to obsess over your husband’s character is before you get married, not after. Once you exchange vows, you should focus only on your obligation to respect and love.
You need to not be controlling and weak and treat your husband with the upmost respect. You need to do the loving things a wife is supposed to do, rub his back, let him do his “guy” things, not complain or whine, and compliment him often. If you love and respect him the way you would like to be loved and respected, he will begin to return the treatment to you. Treat him like a king and remember it is selfish to not be happy.
Making the decision to respect the man God has given you can make all the difference.
When a husband feels disrespected, it is especially hard to love his wife.
You can give your husband unconditional respect in tone and expression while confronting his unloving behavior and without endorsing his unloving reactions. He may deserve contempt, but that doesn’t win him any more than harshness and anger wins the heart of a woman!
Right or wrong, men interpret their world through the respect grid, a wife’s facial expressions and softened tone can do more for her marriage than she can imagine.
Husbands feeling disrespected can lose sight of the heart of their wives and feel resentment.
If you respect your husband, he will love you. It may not always be in the ways that you love him, but he does in his own special ways.
Don’t lose the emotional and physical closeness by not respecting your husband and taking him for granted. Always understand, support, and respect your husband.
Men fear most losing their woman’s love, goodwill, loyalty, affection, respect, value, and understanding. It is all very personal to them and has nothing to do with physical beauty.
The house being clean and food on the table is not meeting your husband’s most important needs. He greatly deserves much more: respect, love, understanding, support, a friend, a helper, and affection.
Drive on the highway of respect, love, and communication and things will grow and develop.
An amazing thing happens when we begin to show respect for our husbands. They begin to act respectable.
