Respect her; Love her; Support her; Listen to
her; Understand her; and always be with her,
these are factors needed to Honor her as she
is the woman of ur life and show her how much
you appreciate that.

It means treat her with a lot of respect, at all times. It means don't take her and her work for granted or assume you're entitled to expect her to do those things. Thank her for what she does. When she has ironed your shirts, say "Thank you, darling." and mean it. When she's cooking, don't criticise the way she prepares vegetables etc, say it looks delicious and when you've finished eating, say how much you enjoyed it and how lucky you are to have a wife who's such a great cook. Compliment her on the things she's good at, and overlook the things she isn't good at, because no-one is perfect. If she's great at keeping the house tidy, tell her you appreciate it. If she isn't, say you appreciate what she does do, and that you wouldn't be comfortable with a wife who was a mad, house-keeping Nazi.
Always respect what she does, listen to the things she aspires to do and never put her down or express doubts about her ability to achieve things that are important to her. I am speaking from experience. I had a husband who laughed at my cooking, belittled everything I did and doubted my ability to do worthwhile work. He also belittled me in front of my friends, and made jokes about whether I had enough brainpower to find my way to the bathroom alone. I have a bachelor's degree and when we met, I was earning more than twice the maximum he has ever earned. Needless to say, he's now an ex-husband and I am with a real man.
I wish you luck and hope your counselling is successful.

Honor Used with His, Her, or Your as a title of adressing her to in a conversation with others and Respecting her needs would be a way of showing her , Needs are far more important than wants we all learn from each other maybe asking her what she needs to help though something around the house or just a day of cuddling to help remind her how important she really is,
stability is needed prehaps knowing you will be there when something needs to be done. ~amber~

all the answers so far have been real good, to honour someone, one must be proud, pleased and happy with their accomplishments. do you thank her for a lovely meal, to you say let me do that honey, after all i know you worked hard today, do you brag about her in front of her, letting everyone know how wonderful she is. to honour is to pay tribute to, and its not just once in a while, its every day, have you ever stopped to buy some flowers just because, things like that are how you show honour and respect. it also serves to make her feel wanted and appreciated. actions speak louder then words even to our spouses.

Honor means to put no other means to put no other women before your wife. Honor her as your wife and recognize her as your TRUE love. Don't go around checking out other women, especially when she's with you.

Lift her up in public, be proud of her, let her know and feel how beautiful you think she is. Be humbled that she chose you to be her husband.
When you are intimate, let her see your raw emotion, how much you adore her, and how grateful you are to be married to her. As you are very fortunate and blessed to have her as your wife.
Include her in all decisions, ask her opinion, and value it.
Make sure to tell her often that you love her, kiss her lots, and make her feel safe and secure.

To honor some one you must accept them exactly as they are, if you have demanded, wanted, needed, her to change anything about herself then you are not honoring her, you are trying to make her into some thing that she is not,

It means respect her, as in, don't just say that she is your whole world, show her that she is your whole world, by acting that way.
