Men, find yourself a woman you love and respect and that makes you want to be better than you are. That way you will always strive to be better. Women, find yourself a man you love and respect as he is. Don’t settle for a man you have to fix before you will respect him. A man will walk over hot coals for a woman who loves and respects him. And a lady wants a man who goes out of his way to show how much he loves and respects her. Marriage takes two people working at it to work out, and it is never easy. Not over a lifetime. But if you start with love and respect on both sides, it is better. And whatever you do, never let either love or respect go away. Healthy marriages don’t stay healthy if you don’t have both.
