MEN NEED RESPECT PERIOD!…. A WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW
October 19th, 2008 | by admin |Dear Gary,
Let me say just a few words about men and our relationships as a female…
I have been married for many years through the good, bad and ugly…I have cried, pouted, manipulated, guilted, threatened to leave…I have been to therapy with and without my husband and have spent endless hours trying to figure out what wasn’t working…
So I tried an experiment that you shared with me, it was something I was thinking about doing anyway. I simply decided to give my husband RESPECT even though I didn’t think he deserved it. I respected his position as the husband. I did not undermine his authority in public or with the children. I treated him with respect in every area… If I had a difference of opinion and views, in a respectful way I discussed it with him in the privacy of our home with just the two of us….That means, no yelling screaming, throwing items, walking away…you get the point. What do you think happened?
It took only a few days and I got what I wanted! I was loved and cherished… It was a win/ win situation! And our intimacy got better as well.
Was this easy at first? Especially when things were not going well?? Absolutely not! But I bit my tongue and pressed forward and am happy to say it is working well!
Ladies, try to honor your man even though you might not think he deserves it. You have little to lose and you just may get what you want.
Thanks Gary, from a firm believer.
