Too frequently, I have clients who treat me with great respect, being very civil. I keep thinking, “What a nice person.”
Then, their spouse comes in. Civility and respect are out the window. More often than not, both are equally uncivil and disrespectful. Unfortunately, neither seem to recognize that each has a choice. Civility and respect, both, are always a choice.
How about you? Do you choose to be civil? Do you choose to be respectful? (Regardless of your spouse’s actions!)
Civility and respect can be the foundation for building/rebuilding a strong marriage.
But you have to choose it.
