Erik: Why is mutual respect important in a marriage?
Jason: I think mutual respect is important in a marriage because if you don't inherently
respect the person that you're married to, then you're gonna have a lot of problems getting
along with them, just on basic everyday things. I think when you live with someone and you're
married, and you're with them every single day, you get turned on to all these different
aspects of their life that you don't see with everybody else in your life, all your other
friends and your family for that matter. Until you live that closely with somebody. And if
you inherently don't truly in your heart respect that person, you're not gonna have a smooth
and solid relationship, or better said, probably foundation to that relationship.
Erik: And how does that play out with regard to two professionals living together?
Jason: When 2 professionals live together, particularly from different, very different
professions, as my wife and I are. Trying to understand what the other person does on
a daily basis, outside of the house and outside of the relationship, is quite difficult. And
so accepting that you don't understand it, I think is a key in having that sort of mutual
respect for each other, having that solid relationship and being able to support each
other without necessarily knowing exactly what each other goes through.
