Husband Boot Camp, is designed around respect and understanding. How to treat your spouse. If you are putting up with a marriage that is give, give, give then sometimes just venting can be helpful. Getting advice can be even better, especially from someone who has been there and seen many relationships fail for lack of understanding.
A marriage is based on respect. Anybody telling you any different, probably is in a bad partnership. Respect is the foundation for the marriage--everything else such as: love, commitment, trust, etc. is built from this foundation. When it crumbles everything else fails. In addition, the respect must be mutual and not one sided.
One of the main problems, I see is people having expectations in a marriage. (stop never expect anything) Expectations drives disappointment, which drives contentment and finally feelings of resentment.
When you come home from work do NOT expect the house to be clean, dishes done, kids behaving, dinner on the table or anything. The only expectation you should have is for the deep feeling you have for your partner and how glad you are to see them--anything else is material and selfish. Always appreciate what your partner does for you to make your life easier NEVER take it for granite. If they cook dinner, do laundry, clean the house, tell them how much you appreciate what they did. A key point in this is when doing things for your spouse, never expect anything in return, even thanks--as your act should come from the heart.
