How to get your wife to respect you?

Post by Robinson »

To get your wife to respect you, it starts with self-respects. Personally, I focus on being honest and dependable. I also try as much as possible to set healthy boundaries without being harsh and I communicate it clearly but respectfully too. I command respect by taking responsibility and I always stay calm in every conflict we have. The most important thing is that she should see leadership in you, not ego. With that, she’ll naturally respond with respect.

In a marriage there should be respect. Another thing is that respect is something you earn naturally when you are a man of integrity and when you’re responsible too.

To gain respect, you should be the one leading with empathy and you should be emotionally available too. These little things matter a lot.

I always talk to my wife about anything. I listen to her and I know this helps with my relationship so we respect each other's boundaries.

Pretty simple really – treat her the good respect in the way you wish to be treated with respect and work together as a team.

She respects me because I respect her. It's mutual. I know some cultures have a different way of seeing things but I'm a firm believer that both parties need to respect each other in order for anything to work.

Women love men that can lead them right. So, as a husband, you need to understand your woman and how she feels most times. That is the way that she can get to appreciate and respect you more. If you are a person that doesn't like showing that leadership qualities, it will be a big issue.
