My husband and I love each other unconditionally. We do things for each other all the time. Those three items when done to another are then spurned back. If I talk nicely to my Husband he will talk nice ot me. If I put his laundry away he will do something for me. I don't do things for him because he will do something for me but simply because I know he appreciates it and in turn at some point in time will do something for me. I take care of him while he is sick. I don't expect him to take care of me while I am sick. He makes me breakfast on his days off and lets me sleep in and he takes the kids to school.

I don't act or do things because of what he does for me. Niceness breeds niceness. I want my husband happy and he wants me happy.

My love for my spouse is contingent on him going home at the end of the day

I suppose that I don't think of it this way. But my answer is yes. If he never did any of these things for me and didn't love me....what would I have in my life to love, serve and respect?

it relatively is my journey that in the time of common terms mothers are even able to unconditional like to their infants. Even then in common terms some mothers no longer all. God is the only individual who can supply unconditional like to somebody yet even Christians understand that there is a difficulty. you may desire to have faith first to be standard, then the difficulty is you will possibly desire to artwork on being a greater acceptable individual and greater like him. So even that turns conditional. No way could marriage be unconditional it relatively is abused by utilising the two adult women and men. i think self love is unconditional, exceptionally while your so self absorbed in common terms you could love your self while others run. i think of love could be earned.

yes to all of the above... we just came home from a weekend at a marriage retreat and i learned so much about my husband and he of me... we learned he is to be the leader of the house, and the spiritual leader of our family and we are to oblige by him and serve him and our lord and savior... that doesnt mean he rules us with a iron fist what it does mean is he has the final say when things need to be done and he leads the house in prayer and keeps things at peace with himself and our family...

no i love my spouse for who he is and not what he can do for me (if that makes any sense)

because i love him unconditionally, the respect, love, service comes as a part of the package.

Reciprocation is part of any meaningful relationship.

To be in a marriage without love, is to have nothing.

nope. On the other hand Y would I stay with someone who did not love me, respect me, or want to do things for me?

Yes, it is conditional, as is his for me. There are 'conditions' attached to our relationship, such as fidelity, trust and truth. If these conditions are breached it impacts on the relationship.
