Respect is of paramount importance in every relationship. Respect is the act of valuing people, the act of value other people and their decision and this include people that are different from you.

When someone have respect for other people either partner, friends, or relatives, you will feel positive about them and you will always admire their decision even when it’s not your own suggestion or okay by you, such people action will be accepted, there is a popular saying that says that respect is reciprocal, and this means that you will be treated the way you treat others, and for anyone to be treated fairly, such person must treat others fairly.

For instances, whenever I and my partner are to make any decision either that concerns both of us or just him, he will always bring such discussion to me for us to decide on the best choice.

I could remember time without number that he will go with whatever my suggestion is by dropping his own personal suggestion about the decision, in a such situation he think I have a better suggestion.
