Most marriages started with love and ended due to disrespect. No sane man would divorce a respectful wife.

Married men in the house, which do you see keeps your marriage - love for your wife or Respect for her?

On one hand, one lady who is all nice and sweet, puts all her emotions into the rship, but her attitude, intellect needs some work. You are ready to help build her, educate her but you fear you might not respect that much. Her dream is a loving husband.

On the other hand, another lady, is not the loving/romantic type type, a little cold, but she is responsible and smart. You respect her a lot, but it looks, you will both have to grow the love. She'll have the tendency, say any disrespect, I'm packing my bags instead of working things out. Her primary focus is to be respected in her marriage.

Lastly, what do you ladies want? I hear some women say love, some say respect, some say both. It varies based on those who believe strongly in love vs those who don't want disrespect from their husbands. But one thing is sure, most women deep down want one over the other.
What is love without respect .....that's fake love

LOVE
If you love him/her, naturally, respect will come. You will just see that you can't do things that will hurt your spouse.
You can have absolute respect for someone you don't love like your boss in your place of work, you can hate him/her at the same time respect him/her.

Respect. Love is just a unifying something. Without other important things like respect, tolerance, money... Love is useless in a marriage.

Op
Money is like the binding wire that binds the two together in most cases.
Culturally and economically money breeds respect
Love for one's spouse makes it last
So that list isn't complete,biko put money.
For the Wife,she wants a strong sense of financial competence this will automatically breed respect.
For the Husband the only thing he should demand is a loving wife cause it breeds a persevering,supportive and trusting Wife which is a useful key in Marriage.
So OP it is love and money
Money foots materialism,love foots mentalism.
Cause love and respect fades away 80% times when there's no money

Well, the bottom line is love. If their is love not 30/70 or 40/60 kind of love o. I dey talk about 50/50 love between husband and wife, there would be respect.

But if there is no love and what the two have is only respect, the marriage will crash someday.

Love is the main thing.

Biblically, "Husbands love your wives. Wives respect your husband"

Although, the Bible did not say Husbands respect your wives but it is obvious that any man that truly loves his wife will respect her.

Also, although the Bible did not say wives love your husband but instead, it is respect your husband. It is obvious any wife that respects his husband loves him.

Love is the The Bottom Line.

Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, marriage hinge on this two things. If a man loves his wife dearly there is nothing he won’t or can’t do to make her happy( mind you loving someone involves respect) while for the wife deep respect

It's easier to understand Nigeria's problem and solve them than to ever understand a woman talk less of solving her problem.
Respect is better in a marriage than love.
Respect is reciprocal, but woe onto man as in woman, I meant woman lol they are just a necessary evil that should be tolerated and when you feel you are no longer safe then make sure you run for your life after all marriage not to by force.
