Respecting our spouse daily is a challenge for some and a missed opportunity for others. Let’s be honest, there are times you don’t even want to say your spouse name let alone see their face. But we know that is not the best way to go about building a successful marriage.
Our spouse and our marriage deserve RESPECT in all areas every day. Respecting our marriage is not an option its a requirement. Respecting our spouse should transcend outside of our home walls and should be seen by all those we come in contact with.

These are great tips. It is always good to remember that your spouse is your partner & deserves all your love & support. It is easy to forget sometimes & take for granted. I am going to hug my hubby right now.

Very nice and true article. As a former single parent, I kid my wife a lot that’s she’s my “help-meet”, but life is so much better when you have someone you love to share it with!
Thank you for sharing!
