How does a woman show her husband respect?

Question

Okay, I have this knawing sence that I don't know how to show a man respect. I know how I want to be loved. I can understand love. I am a woman, I am wired that way. Yet to understand what it means to show my husband respect, I have no idea what that means. Let alone on how to show it to the man I love the most. I am afraid that if I don't learn this, our marrage might get a lot worse. On the other hand, if I can learn this aspect of men, then our marriage might be the second most fulling relationship ever.

My most fullfilling relationship is with my God, Jesus Christ.
How do you purpose I submit? Isn't that part of respecting my husband?

Answer 1

I'm sorry but you sound like he is king of the castle while you are stuck in the kitchen. If so, that terrible.

You resepect your husband my respecing yourself. Very simple and vice versa.

Answer 2

The thing you have to find out is what your husbands idea of respect is. Some men think that the woman is supposed to be "submissive" and just do whatever her husband tells her to do. Other men want to see their wives as equals in the relationship. If you husband is the first type, you may not be happy being that type of wife. If he is the second (this is the way I am) you can show him respect by treating him as an equal as well. This means that you don't expect him to fit in a little box that is the idea of what you think he should do or think. You let him be an individual and you work out your differences of opinion as a team, with each of you having input and willing to compromise where it is reasonable.

In order to find out what you need to do to show your husband respect, you will need to learn his idea of respect toward him. After that, you will then need to figure out if you can do this and still keep your dignity and sanity in tact.

Answer 3

Treat him like a real person. Do not fuss at him to much. Have a discussion and if possible when alone. Let him make some choices even if they are wrong. You are intitled to the same. When you go out to eat tell him and let him order if he wishes to do this for you. Respect is the same for a man or a woman. just try and do some simple things to make him happy and feel good about himself.

Answer 4

1) Kiss, Hug him often, hold his hand once in a while while he's driving
2) Fix him HIS favorite meal at least once a week or YOU buy dinner for him (take the tab away from him)
3) Take occasional bubble baths with him to catch up on discussions/conversations (funny how he listens when youre washing him there, lol) and BONUS, may be have great sex after
4) Even if u know YOUR answer, ASK HIM questions, his opinion on subjects for giggles
5) Tell him at least twice a week what u SPECIFICIALLY appreciate him for doing, saying.
6) Make sure HE OVERHEARS you sincerely bragging about #5 important stuff to your friends, family
7) Give him good eye contact with an occasional wink/smile when he's speaking especially when you're both with your mutual friends
8) Call his mom or whoever raised him once a week (dont forget to vary different thank yous every mothers/fathers day for having him)
9) Give him a boys-night-out at least once or twice a month to be just a boy
10) Repeat.

Answer 5

U need to understand what causes you to be disrespectful to your husband, It could be your own issues that prevent you from understanding the most fundamentals of respect: Treat the person you care for the exact way you want them to treat you. love is a part of respecting your spouse. You speak to them nicely, you do not degrade them in person or in public, you try and understand where they are coming from, and you put their needs sometimes before yours. Mostly it's give and take, yet with marriage comes a lot of compromise and mutual understanding, communication and sometimes professional counselling is the way to go.
Good luck

Answer 6

You respect your husband the same way you respect anybody else ... first and foremost, by allowing him to be who he is.

That does not mean that a marriage is a one-way street; however, you each have a right to be who you really are without trying to critically change each other.

Answer 7

1) Be the best you can be in bed always

2) Stop asking him tons of questions and questioning everything he does.

3) Sundays is superbowl and evening with his buds. Let him have his fun.

4) Think up new things to make your relationship fun instead of the same thing day in and day out.

5) Men like foot rubs too.

Answer 8

2nd most fulfilling relationship ever????What was the 1st ??

Anyway I htink respecting your husband is just supporting his decisions, and listening to him when he is concerned about something, it is basic human decency. SOme people think it is making dinner every night for their hard working man( not me though LOL) Some people think they should pick out their mans clothing everyday ( once again not me LOL)
but I think just loving him, supporting him and following the vows you took at your wedding is showing him respect

Answer 9

It depends on what he considers as respecting him. For example, in my marriage, talking to him in a very very formal way means respecting him according to him and I do just that. It keeps us both happy. He talks to me in a very formal way and respects me a lot. He says that we should not be extremely familiar with each as that will reduce the respect we have for each other.
I hope this helps.

Answer 10

well first u cant put pressure on ur self to do this
cuz u will only make things worst

just relax
respect to a man is honor
reliability making the man feel like u only want him
be there for him and all

that s about it

Answer 11

you cannot group him in with all men. he is your man and if you dont know how to show him respect then you have problems. love is respect. when he is feeling low you cheer him up. when he is sick you pamper him. when he gets home from work you feed him. you make him breakfast before work and you make his lunch. it is the little things that mean everything to us all. ask yourself what makes you happy? see if he responds in the same way you would. you ought to get to know him because if you did know him and you loved him with all of your heart body and soul you wouldnt be asking this. and if that doesnt answer your question just try oral sex!
