Gaining respect

Good Morning! Just in time for a cup of tea! I have just finished reading my bible and I am more than happy to share to you my thoughts about this bible verse.
“However each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” (Ephesians 5:33) I presume that one way or the other once in our married life we have been disrespectful to our partner.

Words like You are late always late when will you ever change! Alternatively, nagging your husband why he came home late, does this ring a bell? Of course, you must have been dishonest to yourself if for once you have not done that. “IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY; IT’S HOW YOU SAY IT.”

A man usually gives comfort to his family but a rude man can be terrifying and brings fear to his wife and children. A man’s voice has the power to build a home, generate a happy marriage or has the power to ruin and destroy a home it. While a woman must not humiliate his husband no matter how she thinks, he deserves it. Loss of love comes after a loss of respect and the price is too high and serious to a man, than wives realize. My wife and I had known couples who have separated ways because of indiscriminate anger that became the root of bitterness and disrespectfulness of both or one of the partners involved. Shouting in front of many people totally humiliates a person and it is the lowest form of disrespectfulness. Yes guys it is a huge No for a relationship.

If this has already happened to you, and you know you have shown disrespect to your partner,

•Pray and confess it to God today. Forgive if your spouse has done it to you.

•Take action and STOP settling on the negatives. Let your love grow try to search for the positives and reasons on why you married that person in the first place.

•Keep the tone of your voice under control; it is choice a decision you have to make!

•Be slow to speak. Think first. If you have, words that can humiliate that person it would be better not tell him, but if your words are true, enough even though it will hurt that person speak it with love and respect.

•Remember we are created differently so each and one of us has flaws!

•One of our marriage vows is to honor our spouse. In addition, honor means respect and always giving a kind response and controlling the tone of your voice is one of the symbols of respect.

•Moreover, for the end time “IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY, IT’S HOW YOU SAY IT.”
