Matthew 19:3–6 The Message

One day the Pharisees were badgering him: “Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?” He answered, “Haven’t you read in your Bible that the Creator originally made man and woman for each other, male and female? And because of this, a man leaves father and mother and is firmly bonded to his wife, becoming one flesh—no longer two bodies but one. Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart.”

What Are Some way’s a Person Can disrespect their spouse?

Ephesians 5:33 GW

But every husband must love his wife as he loves himself, and wives should respect their husbands.

Love Vs. Respect

Men need to be shown respect, thats when they feel loved.

Women Need to be shown Love like he Loves himself thats when they feel respected.

There are more men locked up for assaults because they where disrespected than any other reason.

Colossians 3:18–19 GW

Wives, place yourselves under your husbands’ authority.This is appropriate behavior for the Lord’s people. Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be harsh with them.

There are more men locked up for assaults because they where disrespected than any other reason.

Husbands will feel disrespected when the wife does not respect his authority.

Wives feel unloved with harsh, hard handling Men..( you don’t handle you mother like that) But some do and that should be a warning sign..

1 Peter 3:1–6 GW

Wives, in a similar way, place yourselves under your husbands’ authority. Some husbands may not obey God’s word. Their wives could win these men ⌊for Christ⌋ by the way they live without saying anything. Their husbands would see how pure and reverent their lives are. Wives must not let their beauty be something external. Beauty doesn’t come from hairstyles, gold jewelry, or clothes. Rather, beauty is something internal that can’t be destroyed. Beauty expresses itself in a gentle and quiet attitude which God considers precious. After all, this is how holy women who had confidence in God expressed their beauty in the past. They placed themselves under their husbands’ authority as Sarah did. Sarah obeyed Abraham and spoke to him respectfully. You became Sarah’s daughters by not letting anything make you afraid to do good.

1 Peter

Lady M thats All you

1 Peter 3:7

1 Peter 3:7 GW

Husbands, in a similar way, live with your wives with understanding since they are weaker than you are. Honor your wives as those who share God’s life-giving kindnessso that nothing will interfere with your prayers.

1 Peter 3:7 The Message

The same goes for you husbands: Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God’s grace, you’re equals. Treat your wives, then, as equals so your prayers don’t run aground.

See this is the key right here...

equality: Respect them as equals..
