How to Show Respect

Respect is one of the pillars of any healthy relationship. In marriage, it is not a luxury but a daily necessity. Each person brings their own culture, habits, and ways of expressing themselves. What may seem normal to one can sound like a lack of consideration to the other. That is why learning to see things from your spouse’s point of view is essential to maintain harmony.

The Bible teaches:

“Each one of you must love his wife as he does himself, and the wife must have deep respect for her husband.” — Ephesians 5:33

This principle shows that love and respect go hand in hand. A husband feels valued when he realizes that his wife trusts him and acknowledges his efforts. Likewise, a wife needs to feel that her opinions, feelings, and dedication are respected. Without respect, love loses strength; with respect, love flourishes.

🌿 Practical examples of respect

  • Words that build: in strong marriages, compliments outweigh criticism. A simple “thank you” or “I admire what you do” can transform the atmosphere at home.

  • Listening attentively: respecting means giving space for the other to speak without interruption, showing that their opinion matters.

  • Simple gestures: helping with chores, sharing responsibilities, and recognizing the other’s effort are visible forms of respect.

  • Respecting feelings: even if you don’t fully understand, don’t dismiss what the other feels. Validating emotions strengthens trust.

🌟 Exercises to cultivate respect

  • List three qualities you admire in your spouse and share them.

  • Compliment daily: create the habit of highlighting something positive, even on difficult days.

  • Exchange perceptions: make lists of situations where each would like to receive more respect and talk about them.

  • Watch your tone of voice: often it’s not what we say but how we say it that makes the difference.

📖 Key Scriptures

  • “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” — Proverbs 12:18

  • “Continue to put up with one another… even if someone has a cause for complaint.” — Colossians 3:13

  • “Love builds up.” — 1 Corinthians 8:1

💡 When respect is cultivated, love is strengthened and marriage becomes happier. Small daily gestures build great results over time.
