  1. I show my loyalty, give him all the attention when I know it’s needed he know his True Love 24/7 that dedicates. Honesty all the way.
    Thank You for your tips that I live everyday ❤ God Bless.

  2. Two people need to be evenly yoked for marriage in God’s eyes. A good marriage needs to consist of three people to be successful. The husband, the wife, and God.

    1. Absolutely! A three fold cord is not easily broken! Proverbs 31;10-31 and “What God has joined together let no man put asunder.

  3. For almost 15 years, I have done all 5 and plus some more. The past 6 months I have been unable to work, due to my mental health… which was his reasoning for leaving me…. 💔🤷🏻‍♀️

    1. I’m sorry to hear that & Im sorry you had to go through it alone when you needed his support the most during this time 💙🙏🏼

  4. I have been doing all of this but missing some for me my feelings and some back what I gave from my heart
    listening like l do and being my support like l am so taken for granted is not good when l don’t get some back emotionally we all need it !

    1. Women should not need to be submissive and always put his needs first. Marriage should be an EQUAL partnership for both partners to be fulfilled in the relationship.

      1. Yes, it’s supposed to be an equal partnership, however, both can’t lead at the same time. Partners take turns on leading and nurturing the relationship. Typically, the men lead on providing for the family unit, and the women lead the household care. Neither role is set in stone, and can be altered to fit the partnership.

    2. Seems like we submit and they feel the right to walk over you and treat you like dirt in front of his friend that adores his wife who runs the house hold so I just give up

  5. While in theory this is representive of mutual love and respect, but these rules do not apply when married to a narcissist. They make everything about them in a controlling way to which their partner (supply) is robbed of genuine affection, and support. Run!

    1. Thank You for that! I feel like we are moving backwards & the Hand Maiden’s Tale we are getting closer & closer to! I am still trying to recover from a Narcissistic Toxic Relationship…it was always about him and then being left 4 days post op of a second I was Cancer surgery, the Gaslighting the way the Narcissist makes you question your sanity. Whatever happen to the husband Honoring or people Honoring one another period.

  6. This is so true, plus I could add a few. Being in a relationship, you and your partner have to be number one to each other! No lies, no secrets, only honesty and great communication. You give and take, you also pick your battles! You are Not always right. Remember that!! Also, they have feelings in beliefs as well, sometimes yours can be put to the side. When in a relationship, it’s not just you or I, it becomes an US!! You have to work as a team. If you truly love someone and you are truly meant to be together. All of this will be a breeze. I have been faithful married going on 14 years, we have been together for 16 years and we have known each other for 25 years. He is my everything!!🥰

  7. Been married 20 yrs on 2nd marriage. I have done the 5 + more for years ever since we got back together in ’04 after a 21 yr split in ’86. I was supposed to be all he wanted. So why am I finding him on social medias talking up singles? When confronted he’s not.! Men now a days aren’t like the men in my mom’s day who stayed and didn’t stray. I’m still here but I’m not giving the king treatment until I get the queen treatment back

  8. What if the man is not capable of being “man of the house”? Someone who was never taught how to manage money, understand how a checkbook works, etc. I had someone who, once we were married, sex went down the hill, to non-existent. He expected affection and satisfaction, but did not want to return it.

  9. Being submissive is not the answer, cause yes u make urself a doormat. Men now days just don’t know what they have. Loyalty, honesty, love, it don’t mean to them what it used to mean to men. Men now days are always looking for the better deal, and it’s not going to change.
