Salt of the Earth who everyone seated here came forth through birth but is to bring forth children her only purpose in life? No! For that would certainly be a life filled with strife and no man should have a miserable woman for a wife.
Successful, enterprising, sophisticated and homely are the adjectives that qualifies the 21st century woman who in all her endeavors certainly can succeed. So if you are her spouse or one to be, please do not impede, for a woman’s aspirations should be given space to breathe – inhale… and not just sit idle looking pale and at night when everyone is asleep begins to whale.
Discouragement can drive one early to the grave with negativity in her coffin as the final nail. Yet we wonder why from so many marriages do women post bail? Could it be because their marriage seemed like a temporary jail? I believe it is not hard to see why, you would just need to follow the disappointing trail.
Men, towards successful women there is no need to feel intimidated, for it would only leave you mentally constipated. On the contrary, they should keep you motivated as your relationship is made sweeter when your successes are jointly celebrated. Or else in disappointment would your lives be incarcerated.
Every relationship must have recourse to discourse and not impose your ideas through brute force, as domestic violence would only lead to remorse. Bros! Success is not a curse. It actually does not matter who has the bigger purse but humility must be there of course.
Now women, in your relationships you must be patient like a hen who nests her eggs, never asking when they would hatch, for you can’t be running off to the next person you think is one heck of a catch. No, I am not saying that everyone is a definite match and sometimes arguments can get out of hand resulting in a scratch but even cracks on the wall can certainly be patched. So please from your significant other do not grow unnecessarily detached.
Truth be told, man needs woman and she needs man. If sincere to each other, they would have an extended life span. Well into their golden years, with someone who alleviates your fears, dries your tears and your aspirations understandably shares. This is because this person truly cares.
