respect

[Jessie]

Core you posted the thing from the 1950's on another thread.
this has got me to thinking.

how are wemon to respect men? :scratch:
I grew up with little to no men around most of the time, and
I have heard wemon say things like,
if your in the car going down the road and he "keeps" going in circles because he simply does'nt know where hes going to keep your mouth shut because thats disrespect.
to me that sounds stupid.

also, I had tried to have respect like how I talk, ect, and I would get disrespected by the men. a lot of the wemon in my family are instigators and the men would
have to show their "power" in control. plus they had other control issues.:(

and how not to be a perfect doormat? :aah:

A hard one to answer properly.

It hinges, also, on the man seeing his wife as cousilor and companion.

To me, what it means is that we are to discuss things out fully. But, when it hits a dead end, the man's makes the finally decision, be it to go her or his way.

It does not mean, to me, the guy dictating every aspect of life.

He is the head of the house, she is not.

Hope that is not too vague.

that helps. a lot of guys think its dictating every aspect of life.
so I was trying to figure out what was the right thing.

Jesse the bible also tells us that the Husband is to love the wife even more than himself.

When a man loves a woman like he's told to in the bible even more than himself, its easy to respect him because he'll earn that respect.

He will value his wifes opinions and protect her feelings.

With that kind of relationship it them becomes easy to over look something like driving around lost once in awhile . Because he deserves it. He bought that right and privalage with his love.
