He doesn’t use rough language for you. He never raises hands on you. She too never does these. So, it’s courtesy, it’s goodness, it’s reciprocation of respect.But ‘respect’ includes something more. Respect is eating the half burnt chapatis not exactly happily, but with a smile. This’s because she has made these chapatis after her whole day’s tedious work from 8 AM – 8 PM while you are enjoying comedy shows after your work. Respect doesn’t exist in opening the car doors for her, that’s sweetness. Respect is asking her if she too wants to drive sometimes. Discussing with her before inviting your friends and family for a night stay or lunch on any occasion is not about taking her permission in every matter, it reflects you respect her privacy. Sometimes sitting beside her to watch her old favourite movie on a holiday afternoon even if the protagonist of movie doesn’t attract you is another form of respect. Respect is always sharing your career decisions with her not for advice or approval, atleast to let her know. Giving a thought about her desire before touching her on bed is an epitome of respect.
You know what, respect is the greatest expression of love.
