There is a topic that keeps popping into my head regarding dating and how we are being treated as we are dating someone. When I picture the type of relationship I have, I picture being with someone who treats me with respect, who values me, who finds joy in the things that give me joy, who understands that I have expectations and quite frankly someone who treats me like a Queen.

Now before you go on getting defensive about how wanting to be treated like a Queen is selfish and stuck up, hear me out. Think about it this way, ultimately I want an eternal marriage, and in my opinion in order for a relationship to last for an eternity you have got to be with someone who treats you as if they would never want to live without you.

If someone can see themselves not being with you than clearly the relationship won’t last. This is just one of the many elements that goes into being treated like a Queen. You deserve someone who is willing to do both the little things, like bringing you comfort food when you’re having a bad day, and the big things, like planning a surprise trip. You deserve someone that is going to lay all of their feelings out on the line, while also acknowledging your feelings. You deserve a relationship that doesn’t leave you questioning. You should be with the person who wants to treat you like a Queen.

With that being said, this isn’t a one way street. If you expect to be treated like a Queen that means you’ve got to be willing to treat your man like a King. Because he deserves it to.

Of course there will be fights and such to work through and no relationship is perfect but all it takes is the decision that you are willing to treat your significant other like the King or Queen they deserve to be treated as.

On the flip side, if you’re going on dates with someone and they aren’t treating you well, but you keep giving in for whatever reason, they likely won’t magically start treating you differently. Why would you waste your time with someone who doesn’t treat you properly from the beginning? The beginning of a relationship is when all of the ‘impressing and best behavior’ should be happening. Also, if you are feeling like you don’t want to treat that person like they deserve the world, why continue dating them? It does no good to continue the relationship if you aren’t willing to treat that person like the King/Queen that they are. Food for thought.
