It is finally you turn! Love is what you need to feel fulfilled and secure in your marriage but what your husband needs is your respect.
The word to remember is, C-H-A-I-R-S: How To Spell Respect To Your Husband
Conquest
Hierarchy
Authority
Insight
Relationship
Sexuality
Your husband will feel you appreciate his desire to work and achieve when:
-you tell him verbally or in writing that you value his work efforts
-you express your faith in him related to his chosen field
-you listen to his work stories as closely as you expect him to listen to you accounts of what happens in the family
-you see yourself as his helpmate and counterpart and talk with him about this whenever possible
-you allow him to dream as you did when you were courting
-you don't dishonor or subtly criticize his work "in the field" to get him to show more love "in the family"
These checklists will be counter-culture but I would rather be a friend of God and an enemy of the world than vice versa (Jame 4:4).
God bless you and give you peace,
Marc
