Unwavering Respect

Actively building her husband up and praising him in public while refraining from demeaning him or talking over him.

A husband's craving for respect is as fundamental as a woman's need for love. When his wife believes in him and praises his capabilities, it acts as fuel for his soul and makes him feel like a capable provider and protector.
