In YOUR Own Words...

What do YOU owe your s/o in your relationship? What are things that you believe they are entitled to, without crossing any lines, being unreasonable or too outlandish?

What does their being in love with you, guarantee?

My husband is entitled to my commitment to him, trust, understanding, support, and unlimited LOVE.

What are things that you believe they are entitled to, without crossing any lines, being unreasonable or too outlandish? To put me in my place and reel me back to reality in a constructive manner.To have me compromise on some things for the betterment of the relationship..a "Partna" is a " Partna" for a reason..I can't just go willy-nilly doing my own thing,my own way,my own how without some regard for him and his input..Of course he is entitled to intimacy and fulfilling his needs...I keep tylenol available..just in case..lol.

What does their being in love with you, guarantee? A Friend for life if nothing else...if we don't make it and only if the split would be amicable..Otherwise..him in love with me..he gets a chick who is willing to listen more than talk and allow him to speak when he wants to or is ready to...I try not to nag but hey..lol..marraige is a learning process,ON Hands Trail by Error experience some times..But he gets a woman who strives to have his back..and not embarass him or disrespect him when I'm with or without him.I strive to make sure his wife looks presentable in public with or without him..I realize I am an extension of him and have to represent appropriately even if casual quick in/out errand at least have my hair neat and clean clothes..(he knows a lot of people,like being married to some Music Legend or Pastor sometimes..lol)...But,He gets much respect and adulation from me and others know where he stands in my life..It is readily made apparent..lol..He gets me trying to live up to those Wedding Vows we made in church before a Pastor,aour friends and our family..He gets that..

There are sooo many things. I owe him for helping me see that being in a relationship is not a cure for being lonely. You have to work at it. You can be with someone and still be lonely, so I owe my husband his involvement and dedication to our marriage. I also him thank him for balancing me and allowing me to grow into being a christian wife and knowing our roles in our marriage.


What are things that you believe they are entitled to, without crossing any lines, being unreasonable or too outlandish?
They are entitled to without a doubt peace in their house and your sincere desire to keep them up everyday. They deal with foolishness at work, trying to maintain a financial security for you and your children ( a good man that is), and many other obstacles out there once they cross your threshold. When they come home, it should be to peace. someone that really cares about their needs and wants to replenish anything that the world took out of him that day to prepare him for the next.

NOW MIND YOU......... I did not say, a clean house, cooked food, quiet children, drawn bath, etc.....every relationship is different. You make what works for you. We are not their maids, we are their helpmeets. We are their to help meet the goal that God has for them, to push them into their purpose, propel them into their destiny. Our destiny is locked into our husbands destiny.

They are entitled to have me be honest, not brutaly honest but honest. I think that is about it though, all the other stuff i would do cause I want to
