One decision my husband made years ago was to become a partner in the business where he worked. For instance respect for him even extends to not criticising a movie he chose to watch (not even with me, I went and took a logn shower and washed my hair while he was watching). I am not sure what I can do except continually walk in forgiveness and not allow any root of bitterness take hold. Hi Laura.

I just started planning my own social calendar and plans on when and how I would go in the event my husband prefer to stay home.

In reality, those same strengths were just hard-headed control issues that has reeked havoc in my life with many loved ones. Thousands of dollars in therapy. Letting go of that control is not easy, but extremely rewarding! 6. I hear your hopelessness. If you don't feel secure, comfortable, and loved in your relationship, then you may be with the wrong guy.

However , how do u correct a man who doesnt seem to like you any more ? Gah. Recently I prayed, Lord, help me cope and see things differently and I felt hopeful for the first time in a long time. Im sorry. Do you ever get tired of being so respectful? Was there a period of time when you started doing this and your husband thought you were faking it? Maybe he gets angry more than he should or values his Xbox more than family time. Ive been a surrendered wife for over 5 years. A wife who depends on the Holy Spirit for a heart of respect will show her support to her husband through heartfelt words of assurance and encouragement.

I only share this with you because of how freeing and empowering it has been for myself and my mom. Then he will say no not that way you need to do this and that.

More and more I see hubby leaving all the work, both physical, mental and emotional to me. Have you seen this: 8. He is not my friend; although he would say I am his only friend. But I am tired. Ive asked her to talk to someone, sadly she blames it all on me with the most juvenile disregard for me as her husband. The Greek word being used here is timsate, meaning honor or value..
