RESPECT
Being married to someone means knowing all of their flaws—their impatience, their mistakes, their lack of self-control...the list goes on and on. So it’s no wonder that knowing your spouse’s imperfections makes showing them respect a huge challenge. But here are 2 truths to remember when struggling to respect your spouse. First, respect is an act of the will. Respect isn’t something you just give your spouse when you feel they’ve earned it. Rather, it’s a choice you make based on who they are as your spouse. Second, respect has the power to transform your marriage. Once you learn to respect your spouse, you will learn how to better care for them, support them, and love them. Always be on the lookout for new ways to respect your spouse. Hear all 3 keys to respecting your spouse on this Family First podcast.
