Marriage 15

Chazal say that a man must love his wife as much as he loves himself and HONOR his wife more than he honors himself.

So a woman must treat her husband like a king [as we mentioned previously] and a man must honor his wife more than he honors himself. For instance, if he has 50 dollars in his pocket he should preferably spend it on her. What a beautiful home it is when couples fulfill the words of Chazal. I honestly think that if people would take these words to heart and apply them most problems would be solved.

Let's say you don't feel like honoring her or you don't feel loving towards her - then what?

FAKE IT!

We all fake things at times and we should. Hopefully your act will become so convincing you will begin to believe it yourself. Our external acts influence our interior feelings.
