[quote=Anonymous][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".

So, women don't need to feel respected?  All men need are to feel respected and to be the "king of their castle?"  I don't even know what that means!!!!  King of their freakin' castle?  Please tell me you are a SAHM that needs to believe this in order to justify that you have an important role to take care of this "king of your castle.".  Honestly, if my DH ever said this to me I would laugh so hard I'd pee myself!

We both work f/t, have built our life together (including that not-so-castle-like house we live in) and share all of the household and child rearing activities 50/50.  I say that respect needs to go both ways and both partners need to feel loved.

If there are any women who think he's not being treated like a man should, please come and clean my house and take care of my "king" so I can go off for a spa day and feel like a queen![/quote]
