What It Means To Respect Your Husband

  This simply means to recognize his authority over you; to honour him, to accept, see and treat him as your head, leader, mentor and father.

Don't say husbands are generally the head of their wives; say, “my husband is my head.

If you truly respect your husband there will be no power struggle or Olympic spirit (Spirit of competition).
