Understanding a Man’s Need for Respect

Understanding a man’s need for respect is one of the most important principles you can learn about relationships. It’s the foundation for a happy marriage and healthy relationship. If you can understand why men need respect and how to give it, your marriage will flourish for years.

It’s not so much that men expect to be respected, but rather they want to feel that their mate holds them in high regard and supports the dreams and goals that they have for their life. They want to know that they can count on their mate and that she will stand by them in difficult times. They also like to know that their mate will be supportive of their friends and family and not talk bad about them behind their backs.

Another way to show him that you respect him is by not cutting him down or getting revenge when he makes a mistake. This can be a hard thing for some women to do because of their “people-pleasing” tendencies. A man who has a partner that respects him will not be afraid to make tough decisions even if they may not be popular with others.

In order to really make him respect you, you will need to have your own opinions and interests. He will appreciate a woman who is independent and has her own career and social circle. Likewise, you will need to respect yourself and not be afraid to say no to him or walk away from the relationship if it’s not working for you.
