I don’t know about the study as it has not been on my radar. I do know about me and lots of others who are like me. The only time I have not felt respected by my husband is when he puts me down in public, which to his credit he rarely does. Every other time when we have had problems it isn’t with respect. It is because he has done something that has made me feel like I am not loved.

However to save the peace let’s agree that love and respect are fairly close to one another. Most women lean towards the love end (but not all) and most men lean towards the respect end (but not all). But they are closely related so that they do go together.
