[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone enter marriage anymore and just not consider divorce an option?  We've been married for 25 years.  We have five children.  We've had some rough times.  But we made a commitment to each other and we took our wedding vows very seriously. My husband knows that he is the most important person in my life.  He takes priority over the kids, our parents, our extended family, our friends....

We have several friends who have divorced over the years.  The common theme seems to be a lack of respect from the wife.  Next time you are out with your friends, listen to the way they talk about their husbands.  How do you talk to your own husband at home?  Do you speak negatively about him to friends?  Does he feel loved and most of all respected.  All you have to do is turn on the television....commercial after commercial depict men as stupid creatures that could not possibly survive without the help of their (nagging, condescending) wives.  Think about the number of television shows that make men look inept.

Women need to feel safe and loved.  Men, above all else, need to feel respected. If your husband doesn't feel valued and respected at home, there are plenty of women out there who will give him those things.  It's not right.  But it's reality.  Men need to be the "king of their castle".

Well gee, you make it sound like all husbands deserve respect. I work more hours a week outside the home, do more of the household management and child raising. I appreciate his contributions, but it's not like he's the stronger spouse or even an equal partner. Plus he'd rather watch TV than go out with me or even have sex. Respect and love are two way streets.[/quote]
