And then oftentimes too, yeah, it is the tone in which you can say things.

And I feel like for us, oftentimes it's the things that go unsaid that leave you feeling disrespected and unloved.

Well, I think too, and it's like you've kind of said too, it's like there also is like, even for men to be respected, and you kind of mentioned this earlier, but I think sometimes that idea of

you know, the respect aspect, it can seem domineering of like, you just need to respect me.

And it's like, there also needs to be accountability for men to be, well, if you want to feel respected, then you need to do things that are respectable.

So if you come home or if you're living your life in a way that you aren't loving your wife, you're not honoring your kids, you're not

you're not being a good man.

You can't just demand respect because it says it in the Bible.

Yes, it's biblical, but you have to live out these traits that are gonna make somebody respect you.

You can't just demand respect and there'll be no accountability in your life.

And I think that's when the domineering and just kind of that assertiveness can be misguided is when you're demanding something that you're not exuding.

But I love how you kind of hit on that earlier, because I think sometimes in our culture, we can get wrapped up.

That is so funny.

Well, I love to, because I think even the idea of love and respect, it's so helpful in marriage, in relationships, but it also crosses boundaries to friendships.

And I think it provides such a healthy framework for,

for friendships and how you do friendships in life.

And you have in-law dynamics, you have all kind of things.

And it's even been helpful for us to where there's situations with friendships where it might be something like if I don't get invited somewhere, right?

My primary instinct is I don't feel respected by this person if they invite all my other friends, but they don't invite me.

I don't necessarily feel unloved.
