Is what youa re about to say or going to do going to come across as respectful or disrespectful? If God commands women to respect their husbands uncontionally, do you do it and if not why?

First, let me say in my own life experience, I have struggled in this area. Currently, I am praying and asking God to help me heal
--as it relates to this issue.
We are all taught in our youth how to do things and we subconciously act the way we have been taught.
Ideally and morally one should give respect to God and to those who God has placed in authority over us i. e.- our employers, government. Both husband and wife should respect each other in word and deed. And YES what you say and do should come off in a respectful manner.
Let me also say this, in studying the word of God that there is a higher calling (responsibility) placed over the husband's role in marriage. To much is given, much is required. If there is respect issues between you and your wife, and you want it to get better, unfortunately whether you want the responsibility or not, you as the husband must go to God about it by praying, reading his word and setting an example to your wife.
God commands wives to be in submission to the husband. Does this mean she should disrespect her husband or say/do disrespectful things---by no means, not. If she is constantly being disrespectful to you, fast and uplift her in prayer as there may be a stronghold over her.
Ask yourself this---Are you following God's commandments? (like loving your wife as Christ also loved the church ). Do you take the leadership spritiually as the head of household? Are you considering your duty and responsibility to see to it that your family's needs being taken care of (spiritually, physically, emotionally)? If not, do a self- examination first, then begin to agressively attack this issue through prayer and loving your wife.

I do respect him so much, because he is worthy , he is gentle and caring , he has alos helped a lot in my life, he was the reason I gained back my relation with God .
I also treat him so nicely and obey him , I am not being ungratful for the gift God has given me, we go through bad time of course , but with love and understanding , we overcome it all.
In Islam - like most other religions I am sure- God ordered both of us to be gentle and merciful to the other and made a special request to women to obey their husbands , but I would have done it any way, mu husband is an amazing man .

I do respect my husband, but he respects me as well. We don't put each other down in front of friends etc. I try and be truthful without being hateful to him. I know how I want to be treated, so that's how I try and treat him. Be conscience about what you say not to only him, but to others as well.

The Bible tells husbands to love their wives and it means telling her or reassuring her that he does. A Lot of men seem to think that wives KNOW it so why have to tell them but wives do need the reassurance - then the scripture continues and tell wives TO SEE TO IT that they respect their husbands. If one doesnt comply with that the fighting begins and so as mature adults we should see to it that we love and respect our men - the more you show your man respect the more he will do for you. ALL of you gave good answers.

Yes i respect and admonish my husband and he loves and cherishes and respects me too.... We respect each other and treat and love each other as we would want them to treat and love us... Great question by the way! I love it:) Respect is important in a marriage NOT obedience and being a slave or doormat! the Bible says Children obey your parents it does not say this to the wives . I wish people would get it straight.

To get respect one must give respect. There are times that I do not respect my husband. He is demeaning, rude, verbally abusive etc. It is hard to respect someone who constantly belittles everything you do.

god has nothen to do with it
a loving relationship is spose to be respectful and yes we respect each other
do i always say thing respectfully NO
i give him digs and so does he that is the kind of relationship we have
i tell him im only with him because he can reach the top shelves he is a foot taller then me
he tells me he is only with me because i can scrub the floor without getting to far down
it is our way of busting each others chops and i am sure if someone heard this who does not know us would think we really meant it badly

Miss elite has no clue about marriage if she thinks God has nothing to do with it, LOL, Marriage is a religious institution. The state only got involved to make money.
