However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 5:33 NIV
Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs is a book that we would definitely recommend as a good read for couples in a relationship as well as for married couples. It is rooted in Ephesians 5:33 from The Holy Bible.
Simply put, a husband must love his wife as he loves himself and a wife has to respect her husband. Where there is no love, there is no respect and where there is no respect, there is no love. One cannot be without the other.
Sounds very straightforward? Sounds simple? Yes?
We have probably read this verse in passing but not given it much thought. How many of us who are in committed relationships consciously imbibe this in our daily living? Have we been loving? Have we been respectful?
Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.
~ Miguel Angel Ruiz
To put it in regular context, we often hear people say ‘what goes around comes around’. Yes? Well isn’t it true for our actions and words and attitudes towards and with our partners?
