[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Yes, respect is huge. I never lived in an apartment with roommates (DH and I got engaged when I was about to go into my senior year in college) but my response to all my friends’ roommate drama has always been (privately) “wow, so glad I live with someone who loves and respects me so when I say ‘XYZ bugs me’ they stop even if they don’t mind!” Honestly [b]I think modeling is probably bigger than any conversation[/b]. [/quote] THIS. Show your kids what it means to have an even marriage. Show your kids what it's like to be in love with your spouse. Show your kids how fun it is to be married to someone you laugh with. Show your kids how you and your spouse handle disagreements and emotions. Then, when they're older, you can reiterate some of these things to them to put words to what they've seen you model for their whole lives.[/quote]
