Quote:
Marriage takes a lot of work, give and take, understanding and mutual respect. If you treat the guy like a king, more than likely he's going to treat you like his servant. Expect from him exactly what you give to him, but only after you have been mature enough to tell him what you need or want in your marriage and listen to what he needs. You have to find common ground that makes you both happy.
Also, don't let anyone tell you that you should kiss the ground some man (or woman) walks on, just because they don't beat you, verbally abuse you, cheat on you and show up at home every day. People with this attitude are usually the ones that end up in those bad situations, wondering why after 'serving' their man/woman, they treated them like crap. You shouldn't let yourself, your kids or your husband take others for granted, but you don't have to go overboard the other way either. Usually all that is needed is a gentle reminder, not an all out butt-kissing or drama fight.
Choose wisely who you take advice from on certain topics. Sometimes there's a good reason why some people are single and others have successful marriages.
