So we teach people how to treat us, remember?

So just telling someone how you feel respected is important and it's helpful for them.

Welcome to the Ignited Recovery podcast, a new way forward for anyone looking for answers but feeling left out.

If you've been searching for empowerment, triumph, and purpose, you've found them right here.

You won't hear the same solutions and you're not going to have any excuses to fall back on

because Ignited Recovery allows heroes to rise and become their best selves.

I'm Dr. Adi Jaffe and I can't wait to be your guide on this

journey. Are you ready to become an ignited hero?

Why is respect so important? Why is it so important? And it's because it's how we communicate

value. If I don't speak respectfully to my partner, he's not going to feel that I value him.

So I definitely do need to make sure that when I communicate, it's done in a respectful way.

When we fail to respect to our partner or our family member, this isn't just for partners,

we are communicating that we don't value them.

Many people make the false dichotomy that men need respect and women need love.

There's actually a book called love and respect

that talks about that because there is a scriptural wording that says exactly that, that men

want to be respected and women want to be loved. And I would say that is true. However, as it says here,

imagine a wife saying to her husband, I respect you, but I don't love you. That's not going to be

enough, is it? They don't just want respect. In fact, respect is actually how a man feels loved,

how a man feels loved. And then on the other side, you know,

if a husband says to his wife, I love you, but I don't respect you, it's kind of a little bit

of a hypocritical statement, really. You can't love someone and not respect them. So we want both.
