Today we read in Chapter 4 of Love & Respect and it stresses that men need that unconditional respect from us because when he feels disrespected, he will act unloving and stone wall because he feels he isn't appreciated. Dr. Emerson tried to explain to us how they see arguements differently than us and they deal with things differently from us.
We have to learn to speak the respect language, if we are going to get anywhere when trying to talk to our spouse and solve an issue that has been there bothering us. It's time to get off the Crazy cycle and learn to love and respect each other no matter the situations that life throws at us! We need to quit complaining and critizing them and learn to praise them for the things they do. :) I can't wait til tomorrow to see what else Dr. Emerson tells us that can help us have a better marriage.
Now it's your turn,
Do you have a praise report of what this challenge is doing for your marriage or for yourself? Do you have any questions or anything you would like to share? I would love to hear from you.
Be Blessed,
Regina Cozad
It took me far to many years to learn when I demanded something or fraught for something there was no joy in whatever it was. When I saw it or used it all I remembered was the look on my husbands face or the words and tones that were used to get it. The beautiful thing is I have learned it is better talk about it, look together and compromise then you both enjoy it. When you do it together, whatever it is, it is right and there is joy from then on. Love is so fragile and every moment of every day is a true gift from God.
