Respect doesn't keep a marriage together.
Love does.

Y'all need to stop undermining love. If you love someone you'll have respect for them, honor them and hold them in high regard. So respect is inside love.

So you can stay with the same woman for 50 years even if you don't respect her that much?

The scriptures is quite complete.. Scripture teaches us that Christians should honor or respect all men (1 Peter 2:17). Every human being bears the image of God, and so, of course, we are called on to respect and honor that. And of course, Scripture also teaches us to love our neighbor (Leviticus 19:18), and Jesus in his famous story makes the point that our neighbor is whatever person God has placed right in front of us (Luke 10:29–37). So all Christians are to love everyone, and all Christians should honor everyone. That is the baseline.
But when we come down to the particular relationship of husbands to wives, and wives to husbands, Scripture gives us an important, additional emphasis. Husbands are told specifically to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). Wives are told specifically to respect their husbands as the church does Christ (Ephesians 5:33).

Ephesians 5:22-25

Its should be Ephesians 5 22 to 33 bro
That vs 33 last word that said wives should fear their husbands is very important in marriage grin

No long talk!

Both LOVE & RESPECT are needed to sustain a marriage. In addition there're many other factors aside the two aforementioned above like compatibility, truthfulness, compassionate e.t.c

To keep your marriage, wives submit to your husbands and husbands love your wives.

Then it means you don't see a scenario where love and respect coexist separately. What would you say about love for a sibling, but no respect for that sibling based on behavior. You can love them without respecting them due to their actions.
Just because you tolerate certain people doesn't mean you love them.
TOLERANCE does not necessarily equal to LOVE.

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.


Respect!
It's deeper than it sound.

Dear Nigerian husbands.
I don’t want either LOVE or RESPECT from y’all.
Reason? You are quite INCAPABLE of such basic emotions. Please, stop deceiving yourselves and acknowledge you are not created to give love or respect. kiss

Please, PAY THE DAMN BILLS and TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS. As in 50/50! Simple.

I am fine with that. I can love and respect myself with or without your help.

Thanks!❤️
Lol...Them don do you strong thing. Pele

The success of any marriage is dependent on the parties involved(husband & wife) if the two are wise, & are working towards achieving same goals, they should not have problems managing whatever differences they have.
