I’ve been very honoured to have been invited to contribute to Managing Your Blessings’ 31 Days To A Better Marriage Series.

Below please find my post where I give you an inside view into my marriage – the good, the bad, and the ugly, in 4 Ways To Cultivate A Habit of Respecting Your Husband.

Respecting my husband was a concept that eluded me for many years at the beginning of our marriage. I always felt that it would be so much easier if the command given in Ephesians 5:22 to wives, had been to ‘love’ their husbands. Love him, I could do quite easily, while respect seemed like such a vague notion that I struggled to grasp and understand, let alone put into practice.

Being respectful to your husband should become a habit, and as such takes time and effort to perfect.

I would like to offer you a simple list of A,B,C’s to help you on your journey.

Accept His Words As Wisdom

When your husband shares his opinion, accept his words as wisdom, even if his logic does leave something to be desired. Not many actions speak disrespect louder to a man than shooting down his ideas and thoughts in cold blood.
