Respect for your spouse is the foundation of a stable and loving marriage, which is achieved by respectful speech and behaviour in private and in public, active listening, appreciation, consultation, maintaining privacy, apologising for mistakes, and supporting your partner's wishes. These behaviours demonstrate character and intellectual maturity and increase peace, trust, and security in the relationship. Listen carefully to what your spouse says without interrupting. Mutual respect increases self-confidence, strengthens love, and creates a sense of security in the relationship. Accept your spouse for who they are and avoid comparing them to others. Never belittle your spouse in front of your children, family, or friends, and treat them with courtesy. Respecting your spouse is actually respecting yourself and your own personality.
