Myself I want my wife to respect me and to care and love me. Life without respect is life without fame.

I don't like the word obey, a wife is not a dog, I think a marriage is a partnership and both people in that partnership is equal, so they should work together, love each other and care for each other but obey is not on as every living person has their own journey to travel and no-one owns that life but them and they must be true to themselves first...

Respect is a two way street. So is marriage. You need to obey each other and work together to make marriage work. To be totally dominant and have her follow your orders isn't marriage. It's not a partnership. It's a dictatorship and isn't going to make her love you.

No, if the wife should respect anyway, then so should you. It goes both ways. Respect is something that has to be earned. If you're not acting respectful to her, then she's not going to respect you. You might say that she should respect you because you're the one working to bring home the money to take care of everything, but if you don't let her have a job of her own and put down what she does for you, then you're disrespecting her. Frankly, with an attitude like that I wouldn't respect you either.

Exactly. Double standards in a relationship will only breed resentment, not respect. This is the year 2007 and women are not cattle. We're not possessions. We deserve the same respect as a man. I can't believe in this day and age that patriarchal societies are still allowed. Women need to stand up for themselves and realize that the men who enjoy making their woman feel lesser don't deserve to have a woman.

Obey is a very strong word and I dont think anyone should obey anything but the law.. I love and respect my husband but he also loves and respects me.. we are equal in our marriage and dont tell each other what we can and can not do.. I would never stand for my husband being controlling over me.. we are equal and always will be and that's how I think it should be cause without each other we would have nothing so we both deserve the same amount of respect..

hehe.. cool comment, but according to me both the husband and wife should obey each other but husband should not show his 100% love to her wife as wife sometime take the power in the house that create big problem in the society.

its not necessary that wife should obey her husband always, they should give and take because if no one would like to give or to take, marriage will just go on the rocks. men and women should be equal in rights and in everything.

With all due respect, love and care do not really go with "obey". I personally would not want to be in a marriage with a man who wanted to tell me what to do. Marriage is an equal partnership and as long as I behave in the way a married person should, and consider my husband's feelings, i will "obey" nothing. Just my opinion. I know there are cultural differences in the world. But you can love and care without losing yourself. Peace!

I have to disagree. A wife doesn't need to obey the husband. I do agree that she should show him respect, but I also think he should show her equal respect.
@hrangte (286)

Right! cool comment. I do agree somehow but not, coz wife should obey his husband even if they have equal right.

Well! it,s a very good question my dear.obviously Wife should obey his husband.all her happiness & joy should be 4 his husband.similarly Husbands should be very caring,loving & kindhearted 2 their wives becuse Women r not strong like men.dis is not i,m saying these r facts.God has given some extra ordinary work 2 Women n some 2 Men.like women can become mother but not men.they will become father but women can,t.similarly women r more beautifull,soft n caring then men.But da main thing is LOVE.where LOVE exists respect will be thier n where LOVE doesn,t exist,their is no chance of respect. so wot do ya say

Well I argee with you as in any relationship you have to have respect for the other one. But I dont agree with how you sked your question you said "Wife should obey his husband." What you are saying there is that the wife should have to do everything that the husband says and that isnt rite, No one should have control over there wife/husband as this leads to alot of fighting and volence .

obey you. Are you God? There is nothing say that a wife must obey her husband and I think it is wrong. She is not your child and she shouldn't be treated as one.

hehe.. nice comment, right every individual have the same right but when marriage wife should atleast respect his husband even if they have the same right. And husband should not treat her wife like a slave, but should treat with love and caring...

I respect my husband, and i know he is the head of the family. He has the right to make the final decision, so i will obey him even if i did not agree on his decisions. I love him very much so to avoid any arguments, i will just obey him.

not all the time.. couples should have a give and take relationship.. respect and love can gather in giving and take.. partners may obey each other not just the man going to rule

I absolutely disagree with that phrase obey the husband. What is this the stone age? I resepct and love and would do anything for my husband but I know that he would do the same. We have equal responsiblities. We are individual people and we respect that and allow each other to let that individuality shine. I think that old saying should me null and void. Women today are very independent and strong they dont need a man telling them what to do, they want a man to stand beside them and support what they do!

Cool comment, but if someone don't respect her husband then people will might not respect her too.. right! every individual have the same right and most of the girl do have the same right like a man, but women should show their respect towards their husband infront of others...

A wife should "honor" her husband and a husband should "honor" his wife. Obey is something that a child does with a parent and unless its incest(hopefully not) then the word "obey" shouldn't even be a part of their relationship.

Obedience and respect are two totally different things. Respect is when two people work together as a team, obedience is one gives orders, and the other does what they are told. A man who only wants obedience from a woman has problems with himself. A woman is not a puppet, to be controlled, she is another living person, able to make her own decisions. If you are looking for obedience, I suggest you get a DOG, not a wife.

Not even to obey she should submitt. Submittion is the principle number one in marriage while the husband are to love their wives the two principles are very important.
