Hello, I just want to say thank you for all of this good advice.
I am not even married, but I am in a relationship that will hopefully lead to marriage and I want to put good habits in place for our future.
I Love and Respect my boyfriend, but I am also really honest, and sometimes this comes across as being a pain in the butt. I am really sorry about this, but I am not sure how to change. We are not really bad, but I did think that we should probably watch out for ‘the crazy cycle’ that was mentioned.
I am thankful that you put some concrete ways that I can help him to know that I love and respect him.
Thank you and God Bless!
Love Emily

I was bummed the other night. Carlos has been working late every night this week. He came home around 9:00 and we started catching up on the day . I started to head up stairs and he said, “Hey where you are going?” I said, “I will be right back.” Well, by the time I got back downstairs he had the TV on . .. I had a pitty party and headed back upstairs. I hate when I lose out to the TV I guess I should of given him my full attention when earlier.

These are wonderful. Especially telling him before-hand whether you want listening or problem solving. And I love the picture with the girls! It’s perfect.

These are great tips of how we all should be treating and loving our spouses! Thank you so much for reminding us of how we are called by God to act in marriage!

Great post!!! Sometimes when you have something really important to say and share, it’s just so hard to write. I’ve got three drafts of the same subject at the moment that I’m not sure I’ll ever post.
I enjoyed your Blog!

Okay, I’m admitting to having the book on my shelf for about two years now & have not read it. ::blush:: I’ll be putting it in my current “to be read” pile & getting to it. I think you did a great job conveying ways to show respect. I know that these are big ones for my hubby & I try hard to do them, but there is always room for improvement. ::big grin::

I have not yet gotten around to reading this book. It has been highly recommended and even preached about at our church since the author is a member. THe hubby and I lead marriage prep at our church and this is a topic we try and hammer home. Very counter cultural these days.
