Help Your Wife Show You Respect
Model desired behavior
Don’t expect to get respect from your wife unless you consistently show her respect.
Talk about it
Respect may mean something different to her than it does to you. Find an opportunity to discuss this subject lovingly and patiently with her.
Use positive reinforcement
When she shows you respect, thank her, and tell her how important it is to you.
Be respectable
Fulfill your obligations. Be honest. Make her proud. Do the things that you know you should do. It will be so much easier for her to show you respect if she feels it first.
