showing respect to my mate
Hello Sedona,
'm a 39 year old male. I'm having trouble showing respect to my mate, or more appropriately, she does not feel that I repsect her. This is totally not true. I respect many things about her; her wisdom, her parenting, her willingness to help people and share her heart, her love of new experiences, the list goes on. Anyway, what can I do to show her that I truly do respect her?
Thanks,
Respectfully Yours

Respectfully Yours,
What you are experiencing is not all that uncommon. In many relationships, the woman feels that she is either not appreciated or respected. Half of the problem may be due to your mate's perspective. Women often need reassurance. She might be going through a stressful or difficult time right now and she may need your support. If she is vocalizing to you that she doesn't feel respected...she might be feeling a little down and you could help her find out what is really bothering her by listening without judgment. This is the best way to earn a woman's trust. So the first thing to do is not take it personally. Secondly, ask yourself this...have you told her that you respect those qualities you listed in the question, lately? The key word is lately. There are a lot of gestures that you can do to communicate that you respect her...but it is up to you what you feel will best portray what your heart wants to say. Don't take the lazy way out, a woman can always tell when a man has put some thought in his gestures. Often times, guys wait till the last minute to finally tell or show their loved one how they really feel. If your woman is truly important to you, designate a day out of the month to do something special for her. This will win you lots of points and in turn she will be a happy woman. Bottom line: Treat her like a goddess and she love you like a god.
