So, what do you do to show love and respect toward your partner?

 

[leturlifewitness]

Desire for her to be what God has called her and our relationship to be, more than I want our own carnal wants and desires to be fulfilled.

double ditto. For God's purpose is always good. Our flesh's desires are deplorable. But the fruit of the Spirit....well.....there are just not enought words to describe it.

Showing respect that's due not only to her, but to the rest of her family - I think that it's good to demonstrate that I can interact positively with Lauren's parents and show that I am the sort of person they can trust.

Im with him, where in a long distant relationship and it is sooo hard for us at times but just us two been together in this and going through the hurt of not been with each other shows how much we do and are in love with each other. It s amazing. Hes a christian (as i am obviously) and we totally trust each other. He has showed me in so many ways how he loves me, we just keep on showing each other. We go on holidays and have so many romantic moments int hem and have lovely deep convs. we are totally honest.

I show her love and respect by ministering to her needs. This consists of many little things that are old-fashioned courtesy or little acts of kindness such as opening doors, holding her coat, carrying her packages, tying her shoes when her back is sore and it hurts to bend over, cutting her grass, raking her leaves, listening carefully to what she has to say, getting to know her family and friends, encouraging her, admonishing her, being open and honest and vulnerable and real with her, being totally committed to our relationship and to preparing to be a good husband to her, honoring our covenant to wait until marriage for physical intimacy. I guess the long and the short of it is that everything I do for her or with her has to be characterized by love and honor.

AWWWWWW that's sooo sweet, and I know what it feels like to be treated this way, I get the SPECIAL TREATMENT all the time, and I also give it to him.

Let me guess you love language is acts of service john?

I do things for him, particually trying to when i don't want to... I never talk him down to others, and do my best to respect his alone time, and other interests...

Let me guess you love language is acts of service john?

Yes, strongly acts of service followed closely with almost a tie between physical touch, quality time and words of affirmation.
