Marriage success based on mutual respect from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.
Mutual respect is a key ingredient in a successful marriage. It is the foundation upon which all other aspects of the relationship are built. When both partners treat each other with respect, they create a safe and supportive environment where love can flourish. This means listening to each other without judgment, valuing each other's opinions, and treating each other with kindness and consideration. Respect also involves recognizing each other's individuality and allowing each other the space to grow and evolve as individuals. It means supporting each other's dreams and goals, even if they may differ from your own. When both partners feel respected and valued for who they are, they are more likely to feel happy and fulfilled in the relationship. On the other hand, a lack of respect can lead to resentment, frustration, and ultimately, the breakdown of the marriage. When one partner feels disrespected or belittled, it can erode their self-esteem and create a sense of distance between them. This can lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and a breakdown in communication. In order to maintain mutual respect in a marriage, it is important for both partners to make a conscious effort to treat each other with kindness and consideration. This means being mindful of your words and actions, and always thinking about how they may impact your partner. It also means being open and honest in your communication, and addressing any issues or concerns in a respectful and constructive manner.- You can create a strong and healthy foundation for your relationship to thrive. When both partners feel valued and respected, they are more likely to feel connected and supported in their journey together. Ultimately, mutual respect is the key to a long-lasting and fulfilling marriage.
