Emphasizing traditional gender roles in a way that avoids negative stereotypes and promotes a healthy, respectful relationship between men and women could be accomplished by recognizing the inherent value of what each sex offers. Men can emphasize their strength, protection, provision and leadership. Women can emphasize their caregiving nature, emotional intelligence and insight. Both genders should strive to build each other up, recognize complimentary qualities as God given gifts rather than battle in an oppressive way over who is ‘right’ or superior. Additionally both genders need to recognize the importance of healthy boundaries where respect trumps pride in relationship dynamics. Ultimately every romantic relationship looks different but it is important to have grace for one another when things don't look how we think they should in relationships because God looks at everything spiritually not just naturally. (1 Corinthians 13:1-8; Colossians 3:12-4:1)

By focusing on the unique strengths of each gender, traditional gender roles can be promoted in a way that emphasizes respect and consideration between men and women. For example, strength and independence are seen as masculine characteristics, while nurture and emotional intelligence are typically considered feminine characteristics. Raising consciousness around these qualities can facilitate an environment that supports both partners in creating harmony within their relationship.
