Love!!!
If he truly loves me, the respect will come. I beliv thats the sequence of the whole thing. Although some might argue the other, in my experience, i knew I was loved and with each passing day came the respect.

And even I personally got to love my man and the more I loved him the more I respected him.

this is atough one...did u have to do this.
but honestly, it has to be love. with genuine, true love, respect comes just like that.

TheAfroBeat said...

BOTH EQUALLY! Sorry to cheat but i grew up in a house where you could tell there was love for the mother but the respect slowly faded for many different reasons. In a relationship, maybe love should be demanded more, but in a marriage with kids, respect definitely goes a long way establishing the family norms required to raise kids right. SO i'm going to stick with both and wait for that mindblowing revelation you've promised!

How're things otherwise?

Fluffycutething said...

Pink satin took the words out of my mouth...

They go hand in hand.

It's not an "either... or" thing, they are ingredients of each other.

ShadeCrown said...

Hmmmm.. i would go for both but since u want us to choose one, i'll say Respect!

whats love these days anywayz? lol..

darkelcee said...

Sweetheart, it has to be love.Not the eros type but agape that is unending , unlimited.

Respect is embedded in LOVE

2 weeks? isnt that too long?

Anonymous said...

love.....that's the answer. Coz respect will certanly come afterwards.....it is an integral part of it!

princesa said...

I'll choose LOve.
Respect will definitely follow.

Anonymous said...

I was gonna say both but I'll go with wat everyone is saying... Love first then R.E.S.P.E.C.T follows mos def!

There can be no respect without TRUE love. Respect is definitely one of the by-products of love. The world today defines love as Sexual love / feelings. That kind of love alone cannot produce respect.

Afrobabe said...

I dont really think there is much difference if u choose love..I say this because anyone who loves you automatically respects u...

He might respect u but not love u...so I'll go with love..

I need the two like blood o! madam this quession is too hard for me o! With love I think, comes respect.....

SOLOMONSYDELLE said...

Ah, this question always comes up in so many forms and i never get tired sharing my 2 kobos. For me, it is all about respect. Here's why. Love is a wonderful thing. Once you experience it, you never want anything less. However, it has been proven that love and the affected parts of the brain, lasts for a specific period of time. Respect on the otherhand, can and does last forever. respect for your partner will affect how you treat him/her and hopefully couple that with the fear of God and couples can stay out of trouble.

So, in conclusion give me love but give me even stronger respect, because that will get a couple through even when the love fizzles.

i would desire love.women are designed to be emotional and receive love

For the love of me said...

I would say both but since you are forcing me to choose, it would have to be respect then. People love in different ways but I suppose we can manage one definition for respect.

Joy Isi Bewaji said...

if we follow the true essence of wat love is supposed to be, then it should be love.
but in the 21st century, love is a burden and a curse....
so i go for respect. any man that disrespects me, tells me in plain language that i am sub-human.

and men do have many ways of showing just how much of a fry they think u (the woman) are.

but in the ideal world they should come hand in hand...

hope u are fine?!

Edirin said...

erm you got me here, of course i want love

what si a relationship without love, if theres no love theres no relationship

then again i cant be in a relationship with someone who doesnt respect me, we will eventually break-up..

but love is the most important factor i guess,but without respect we will break up anyway,

Afronuts said...

Love is key cause its the greatest and allows respect to bloom. Respect could just result in hateful pride

Simi Speaks said...

Love anytime anyday!

What is the defination of respect to a woman? Been loved, appreciated, taken care of etc... All these are fruits of true unconditional love.

The bible says it best.."..Women respect your husbands, husbands love your wife unconditionally..".

I would say our Creator knows best, wouldnt ya? :-)

Zayzee said...

how does one pick?

but if it's true love, then the respect comes naturally right? That is what I think. U can respect someone and not like him. love is an emmotion.

Joy Akut said...

with love comes respect yeah? i mean you cant love without having respect for a person...maybe not
but i definately choose LOVE!

Sherri said...

Love is what us females thrive on,we demand for respect in the absence of love.

Mineexclusively said...

Respect.

Anonymous said...

i agree totally with pink satin...they supliment each other

rethots said...

...without thot, i said love first but, i say respect.
Love is something that grows, 'tis not just there; but, respect, if you don't respect someone, you simply don't (& maybe will not). Oh yes, you might differ to the other but, that's not respect.

Zena said...

Well you cannot love someone if you do not respect them,

So respect first

plastiQ said...

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. (Aretha can't be wrong)...the vote's in.

doll (retired blogger) said...

when we are getting to know each other in the early stages of the relationship, we cant possibly be in luv den...i mean but respect should be in existence....luv comes with getting to know each other and spend time together....so respect first then luv

Tha BossMack TopSoil said...

Respect is everything ;-)

Savvy Dreamer said...

Love!!! if he really loves me then he will respect me too.

♥♫♪nyemoni♫♪♥ said...

Lindah said...

You can not love someone you don't respect. To me respect comes first.

Thanks for visiting.

misspumping said...

LOVE trust me it is the mother of respect i have known what it is to be loved i lost it i would give my right butt to get it back

Nigerian Drama Queen said...

In my opinion, love&respect are 2 different things, & it is possible to respect someone&have no love for them, and to love someone& have no respect for them.

Although I would ultimately prefer both,if I had to pick, I would pick respect. I think love is a feeling, and like all feelings, it is fickle. It comes&goes: people fall in&out of love all the time. It is respect that sustains a relationship at the times when love is flawed or even absent.

I think love is easily given, but respect is earned. Respect stands on the basis of some merit,and I would rather have that. I think if the choice had to be made b/w hurting someone you love, and hurting someone you respect- you would probably pick hurting someone you love; because you want the people you respect to respect you in return.

Good food for thought-never really thought about it! Okay, back to homework....yeah right.

Allied said...

LOVE!!!

True love comes with Respect ojare

But when Love takes off its glasses..

Then RESPECT

Unknown said...

hmm i swear i saw something like this in a naija movie where Kate Henshaw was always being beaten up ...but yea back to your queshun

i believe if you love a person, you will definitely respect them and no it does not apply to animals (dogs and cats)....respecting the person means caring enough for their feelings, you can only get to the point of love by passing respect

so my answer is love

...thanks for dropping by and yes that is me...we thank God for his mercy in keeping me that way:)

I have updated...

Hephzibah said...

Respect....

This is really food for thot, thanks Ms Emotions, I have never really thot dis deep on dis topic but after serious consultation with the cells in my brain, Respect came up as the winner IF I MUST PICK ONE however, I'd negotiate tooth and nail wt that guy to have both.

Thanks for stopping by, nice blog you have here.

Jinta said...

respect, love is relative.

KK said...

Sex.... and lots of it:) Ok... fine am just joking... I'd take respect anytime....for many have professed their love but I took it with a pinch of salt; I did not understand what they were basing it on.
Respect on the other hand denotes trust in my ability to take on my responsibilities in the ....ship, yes and I'd like some sex to go with that.

i'm a practical lover o, so respect please!!!...ssd has taken the words from my mouth...if you respect someone, there are certain things you just won't and can't do...love won't necessarily stop you from doing things you shouldn't do...

Ms. emmotions said...

at every one,

sori this update took so much time, but here it is , enjoy.....

Anonymous said...

and where is d update??
for me sha,it is not humanly possible to love someone and not repsect the person but u can respect without loving so for me love comes 1st,dat way respect can follow!!!

NaijaScorpio said...

I would definitely say love cos i think when u love someone, u would respect them regardless.

Eb the Celeb said...

I say love... you can teach someone to respect you... but there is no way to teach genuine love

Flourishing Florida said...

well, having seen my post of respect, am sure there's no doubt which i prefer. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

soupasexy said...

i think they go together regardless, with love coming first of course.if u love someone u cant help but respect them.
