We SHOULD all do unto others, but most of us throw that philosophy out long before marriage!
If all Christians made the choice to follow the teachings of Jesus, this world would be beautiful place. As Dr. Phil always says, "We teach people how to treat us." Once we demand respect (and earn it, too), we'll get what we want and need out of life, providing it's fair what we are asking for.
The wife simply wanted love, support and respect, which is not to much to ask for from a partner in marriage.
My king and queen marriage has lasted 16+ years and we have mutual respect for eachother. It's so nice waking up beside my best friend day after day. And when we have a rough patch, we TALK. We don't fight and we always remember why we married eachother in the first place...we both loved and liked eachother and made vows before God to stay together until death do us part. Too bad more people wouldn't take marriage more seriously. There wouldn't be so many damaged kids out there if we all "did unto others as we would have others do unto us!"
