Week 2 #onesmallchange Challenge: Your Spouse Deserves Respect

3/9/2017

18 Comments

 
Week 2 is all about practical ways to show respect for your spouse. Join us for this FREE marriage challenge - free downloadable PDF worksheet included!
Written by Aaron & April Jacob
You finished Week 1 - way to go! (And if you missed Week 1, it's not too late to join us!)

How was it? Comment below and tell us, was it hard or easy? Did you forget? Did it seem to make any difference? What did you learn about your spouse? About yourself? 

Like we said before, this challenge is meant to help you commit to doing small things, for just a month, to see if they don't make a big difference towards nurturing your marriage. 

The Week 2 #onesmallchange challenge is all about respect.

That little thing that all marriages need to stay alive. 

Your spouse deserves - and perhaps even craves - your respect. ​

Respect

Respect was something that came naturally when you two were dating, but perhaps has worn off a bit in the years since. 

Perhaps she wants to feel more respected in the bedroom and he wants to feel like she values his opinion. Or maybe she wishes he wouldn't burp every night at dinner, and he wishes she didn't make fun of him all the time. Or maybe she wants him to trust her and he wants her to stop bossing him around. Or perhaps she only dreams of him not criticizing her in public (and in private), and he wishes she showed more appreciation for all that he did around the home.

In each of these scenarios, each spouse wants to feel respected - valued, appreciated, and held in high esteem. 

Definition of Respect

According to Google, respect means to "admire (someone or something) deeply, as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements."

We don't really like that definition.

We would rather say that respect means to admire your spouse simply because of who they are, and because you are married to them, regardless of their abilities, qualities, or achievements. 

Some synonyms Google uses for the word respect include: esteem, regard, high opinion, admiration, reverence, honor, revere, and hold in high regard.

We do like those synonyms. 

Can you imagine how all marriages would be if both spouses held the other in highest admiration, honoring each other in the fullest sense of the word?

You are right, Nurturing Marriage probably wouldn't be needed. 


Week 2 #onesmallchange Challenge 

​No matter what state your marriage is in right now, one thing you can do to make it better is to show respect for your spouse. Your spouse deserves respect. Your respect. 

So, what does respect look like in marriage?


​And how are you going to make #onesmallchange to show respect for your spouse this week? 

In order for respect to grow, you have to do something about it. 

See, you can't control whether or not your spouse respects you, but you can show respect (absolute and total respect) for that good-looking husband or wife of yours. 

You may have caught on to what we are doing here - we are helping you change. We are helping you to see things differently, to see your part in this beautiful-drama-called-marriage, and to see what difference your efforts can make. 

So even if you feel like your spouse doesn't respect you, you can begin this week to show respect for your spouse. It's up to you - but we're here to help you out!

Click below for your Week 2 #onesmallchange packet to learn one thing you can do to show respect for your spouse this week! ​​

Happy nurturing!

I want to use this opportunity to tell everyone about Dr Kala who specialize in relationship problems and marriage issues. I was going through divorce when I met with Dr Kala and he helped me to stop my divorce and get my husband back to me. My husband filed for divorce because he saw another woman in his workplace and he said to me that he is no longer in love with me and decided to divorce me. I sought help online and I saw so many good testimonies about Dr Kala on how he help people to get their ex back and I contacted him and explained my problem to him and he cast a spell to put an end to my ongoing divorce case and get my husband back to me within 2 days and right now we are living happily together again. If you need his help Email him at [email protected] or WhatsApp +2347051705853.. His website is http://luckyspelltemple.wordpress.com

LOVE SPELL
6/9/2022 02:18:39 pm

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: [email protected] or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected]

OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others

My partner and I have been together for 12 years but we broke up 3 years ago after our fight over his cheating habits which they all say it's not their fault but I was the one getting hurt. I was upset over the whole issue that I had to call for the separation but I felt really bad. The separation really had effects on my daughter who had to live away from her father. I had to think of a way to settle things out and find a solution to my husband's behavior. I found out about a spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me with the problem to make my spouse come back to me and make him stop cheating. Soon, Richard came back to me begging at Sicily where I stayed after our divorce and I told him he has to show me he has changed for me to believe him. He came back twice after that day to Sicily begging me to have him back. It's been more than a year now since my husband came back to me and we have been living together since that day. I believe this man can also help with your problem. His email address is [email protected] or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012

I want to thank all those who have been helping others get their loved ones back with the help of Dr. Odunga. You guys really helped me find the right spell caster.
This is about a real spell caster who did a great thing for me. My name is Kurtis Williams. This testimony is about this great spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me restore my love life back. Me and my wife had a fight and this fight led to us filing a divorce paper with the court and I had made up my mind. My wife was also at the same time furious about the whole issue and my family was broken into two opposite sides. With advice from a good friend of the family I decided to save my marriage and consult a spell caster to save my marriage. I went online into the internet and searched for a real spell caster's testimony and after reading the testimony of Doctor Odunga I knew he was the spell caster needed to save my marriage and my family from being divided. It was a twist of fate when my wife came to me one evening and said she had withdrawn the divorce papers and she didn't want to leave me anymore. She loves me so much. I knew that the spell had worked and my marriage had been saved from jeopardy. This is a real spell caster and I believe there are people who need the help of a spell caster. Why not contact the one and true spell caster to put an end to all your problems and save your love life just like he did save my marriage. Thank you so much doctor for everything you did. If you want him to help you, contact him at Email: [email protected] OR Whats App Him +2348167159012. You can watch my video on youtube through this link too https://youtu.be/5dnlReUb3JU

Hi guys, my name is Sarah Flower, I ended my marriage in 2024 due to suffering from domestic abuse at the hands of my husband. Currently, he is trying to reconcile with me after finding out that I won a Jackpot Lottery Prize of $96 million. Fortunately, I received assistance online from Lord Meduza, the great spell caster who has successfully aided many individuals worldwide in winning the lottery. I reached out to him about my circumstances and expressed my desire to win the lottery. After casting the spell, he provided me with the exact numbers to play. Now, my husband wants me back, fully aware of my $96 million lottery win, but I told him no; I will not return to him. I am incredibly grateful to Lord Meduza, and if you find yourself facing a tough situation, I recommend that you reach out to him as he's the best in his field. You can contact him through his Email: [email protected] or WhatsApp: +1 807 907 2687.
Good luck guys.

Hello everyone,
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Jakuta, a powerful spell caster who helped me reunite with my ex-lover after a painful breakup. For six long months, I thought our relationship was over, but Dr. Jakuta's spell brought us back together. Within 48 hours of the spell being cast, my ex reached out, apologizing for the hurt and promising to make amends. I was overjoyed and welcomed her back into my life. If you're facing similar relationship challenges or other difficulties, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Jakuta. His spell casting abilities are truly remarkable.
You can reach Dr. Jakuta via WhatsApp: +2349161779461
