R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Today’s relationship principle is Respect.   When we talk about respect, we are talking about respect specifically regarding your conversation with your spouse.  Are your words and your tone respectful?  No matter what the situation is that the two of you are discussing, no matter what the topic is, at the very least try to have discussions that are respectful.  Yes, it would be nice if all of your conversations were full of admiration for each other, but there are going to  be times that you are frustrated with one another or frustrated with certain aspects of the relationship—that’s going to happen in any relationship, that’s life.  But, at a minimum, your goal should be that you and your spouse have and demonstrate respect for each other.   If you’re unsure about what it means to respect your mate just ask them.  As Aretha Franklin used to say “ R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me.”  Find out what respect means to your spouse; then do it.   It may not be easy, but it is worth it.  Today’s relationship principle is respect “R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me.” 

What is the most disrespectful thing that was said to you by someone you were dating?
