Judgment is defined in part as “the process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning and comparing”. What happens in a relationship when what we perceived to be the situation, isn’t really the situation? What if our judgement is incorrect? What happens when one partner jumps to conclusions and completely mis-reads the intent of his or her mate or the reality of the situation itself?

Some questions to ask:
** How would a marriage benefit when both parties feel they have equal leverage in decision making and tasks?
** What would it look like if both partners were offered equal opportunity to express opinions?
** What about roles and responsibility?
This is truly an eye opener for me, and I desire to understand more of what it means to respect my husband in a way that communicates love to him.
Hi Amy, I really agree with you that it is important to understand your husband and what communicates love and respect to him. Two excellent books that would help with this are ‘Love and Respect’ by Emerson Eggerichs, and “For Women Only” by Shaunti Feldhahn. You can also watch a full video with each of these authors at www.marriageuncensored.com. Click on ‘The show’ and then “Watch Online”. The Eggerichs show, “What most men need but lack” is on the Season 4 list about 2/3 of the way down, and the Feldhahn show is in Season 3, #328.

We women know how well we do when our mates love us unconditionally. But we forget that men thrive when they feel our unconditional respect. No they don’t always deserve it, but then neither do we.
my husband and i both have great respect for each other and when there are big decisions to be made we do them togater. that is not to say we don’t have disagrements because we do but we always try not to go to bed angry and it does work.
