Respect is Needed if You Want to Avoid Argument in Marriage

If you do not show respect to your spouse, then better expect for argument. If you want to veer away from an unhappy marriage and you want to save your marriage alone, you can do so by giving proper respect to your better half. Make your husband or wife feel like he or she is the person you care about, love and respect above any person in the world. If you do this, you can see problems disappear and arguments become a thing of the past.
It should not be hard for you to show respect to your husband or to your wife. You love your spouse that is why you married him or her. It should be second nature for you to care and respect your better half. The problem lies in waiting and not taking the initiative. If you are waiting for your spouse to respect you before you respect him or her, chances are you are fighting a losing battle. What if your spouse is doing the same thing? The best thing to do is to show respect to your husband or wife even if you feel you are lacking the respect you deserve.
 This can even encourage your spouse to return the act and respect you more also. If you exert an effort to show positive action towards your spouse, it will lead to positive reaction from him or her as well instead of negative ones such as irritability, anger and withdrawal. You are in effect encouraging a better atmosphere for you and your spouse. If you want to help save your marriage, respecting your spouse is the key solution.
Here are some of the ways you can show respect to your better half. To start things off, you can learn to compliment your spouse every once in a while. Tell your wife how beautiful she is even without make up, how great her cooking skill is or how loving she is towards your kids. Tell your husband how handsome he is even just after waking up, how hardworking he is and how great a provider he has become for you and your family. If you have an argument with your spouse, speak in a low tone and remember not to raise your voice. Never lash out, make face or pout in front of him or even behind his back. If your spouse has a point of view that is different from yours, hear it out and respect it.
If you want your spouse to do something, do not demand it or order it. You should rather ask him or her if he or she could please help around the house, go home early and take care of the kids or spend less on shopping and save more.
Make your marriage a priority. This is another way you can show respect to your husband or wife. Go on a date without your kids and talk about yourselves aside from your kids. Talk about how the day or the week went, what are your plans in the future and what activities you want to do together.
