U wanna be treated like Gem.....

U wanna be treated like  a Gem, then act like one. Over the years I have heard many people gripe about how they are treated by their spouse or how they wish they were treated.
Its sad, because the reality is, in some cases the result is in the hands of the gripee. If he or she were acting like the gem or the catch they think they are, they probably would be treated in the respectful manner they want to be treated in.
If your constantly hearing your spouse complain about you in public (and I am not talking about mine), are you really going to feel like treating them as they want to be treated. Probably not. If your often hearing your spouse groan about how they wish they were treated, is the first thought you have going to be, I will get right on that. Probably not.
Sometimes when I hear spouse bashing, I feel like asking, is your spouse aware of this issue, have you spoken to he or she.
