Would you rather have love or respect from your S/O?

1 Answer

Answer :

As a Man, I can’t conceive one without the other. I think I respected my wife as a person before I fell in love with her. We have completely different backgrounds and cultures and bring different things to our collective skill set as a couple. As to the question, I kind of feel one begets the other. I would start with respect, then love. Plus, she puts up with my shenanigans.
