Respect is a big deal to a husband, it's almost big enough to make or break a marriage. Husbands do not want to feel belittled, or not good enough, or not able to provide. These things will tear a man apart.
Ways to respect your husband:
1. Let him provide for your family if he is able. If he makes enough money for you and the kids to live off, be home with the kids, make your home a happy place to come home from work to. There's nothing wrong with adding income to the budget if you can, but he is the breadwinner, the bacon bringer, the provider.
2. Respect his reputation. Do not talk badly about your husband to others, either behind his back or in front of him. Don't tear him down, brag about him! Do you know how good he'll feel about you if he hears you say nice things about him instead of bad? He will feel on top of the world! This also includes your children, they should look up to their daddy in a way all children should, with respect and love, like he can do no wrong, just like the way we all look at God, our Father.
3. Your attitude matters. A respectful attitude can go a long way. When you show an attitude of respect towards him no matter what he's doing or how he's acting, he'll think twice about how he's treating you. Love him, even when he's not being loving, serve him, even when he's not appreciative. Listen to him, even when you have other things on your mind. Be attentive to his needs, even if you're tired.
Do these things and I guarantee your husband will respond in a good way. It's such a simple fix if you think about it, but respect tends to fade away in a marriage, why is that? Work on respect for your husband every day and pretty soon it will become second nature again.
