A woman who feels respected will stay longer than one who feels loved without respect. Love without respect is fragile—it flatters but does not sustain, it excites but does not protect, it warms but does not anchor. Respect, however, is the foundation. It is the steady recognition of her worth, the honoring of her boundaries, the valuing of her presence. Respect makes love durable, while love without respect leaves her unseen.
She remembers the beginning, when love and respect walked together. Every word was cherished, every boundary was honored, every presence was valued.
