The Role Of Respect In Marriage

Every marriage needs a foundation of respect to thrive. Yet, in so many marriages, there’s a lack of respect. Studies show that men, especially, feel its lack, which tends to take a big toll on the overall sense of love and connection in that relationship. 

Why is this so common? Well, for one, it does not always come naturally to be respectful. And, as women, we may sometimes shy away from giving our respect to our spouse because we have a misunderstanding of what it looks like when it comes to intimate relationships. Or we wait for them to be more loving first. 

So, in this episode, let’s dive into the role of respect in marriage, and, more specifically:

• Clear up the misconceptions about what respect really looks like

• Clarify exactly what many women do that leads men to feeling disrespected (it can be less obvious than you may think)

• Discover why, if your partner is feeling disrespected, it is hurting your whole relationship and making it harder for you to feel loved, too 

• Learn about why it matters so much to cultivate respect–especially if you are married to a man.

• And get 10 specific things to do and ways to communicate to build more mutual respect– and ultimately love– into your marriage.

  
  

If you want to feel more loved, and even like a treasured queen, you want to start leading more respect into your relationship. It’s like an aphrodisiac to most men–and will create a positive snowball effect in your marriage as you build it into your daily life together. Listen in.
