Tips on How to Respect Your Husband Again
Hi Link-up friends!
I have been married to my husband for almost 6
years in May. Since being diagnosed with mental illness it has been difficult
for me to respect him, listen to him and quite frankly, tolerate him. My
unnecessary outbursts of “please shut up, take your pills and go to sleep, you
need help!” Somehow trickled down to my 3 year old who started to say “be quiet
daddy” along with other comments that led me to really seek God about my respect for
the husband he sent me over 7 years ago.
My combative ways started to affect
the way my son saw his father, which meant I was off the Godly path to

Here are 3 Ways to gain your husband’s respect again:
- Ask for Forgiveness-Be honest about your thoughts and how they have led to your disrespect
- Reaffirm to your husband that he is the head of the house (1 Cor. 11:3). Let him know that you respect his decisions although you may not always agree with every decision.
- Stop bad mouthing your husband to friends, family members and strangers. Start uplifting him when around others and telling them how great of a husband he is (although his change may still be in progress).
Making these simple changes in my
life, have made a difference in my relationship. Now, my son respects his
father more than ever, because he sees how much I respect my husband.
