Dear Ladies,
It's not your job to build a man, you build with a man. There is a huge difference between helping a man who has a plan and creating the plan for him or making him see potential in himself. A man should have his own goals, plans and be working on them already before you can assist, you don't create goals for him. Love is balanced when both partners are equally ready.
It is draining to force a camel to drink from a stream when it in itself is not thirsty. Have you thought about what happens when it refuses to drink after all your efforts? The rage you will feel is equivalent to how drained you will be with a man who has no plans.
Never you let yourself be influenced by our society into getting yourself drained with the burden of building a man to prove yourself to be a good woman. Even the men themselves look for a woman that has a plan, a woman that has a career, a woman that has a job or a business. They do not look for a burden to bear. Why then should a woman who knows what she wants and is unwilling to go below that be tagged as 'bad' or 'gold digger'?
A woman is not the creator who destines all men! If a man is broken by his rigors through life and is unable to function, it is not your job to heal him. The best you can do is to lead him to the One who made all, only the Sculptor can correct an error. Do not let yourself be tied to a man who sees you just for what you do and not for who you are. You are the flesh of his flesh! You must know this and don't let any man see you in any way below that.
Devote such building energy to yourself you need it, channel it to something lucrative, reserve some for you work of assisting the Creator in your children. Pray to meet a man who is at his purpose, a man who deserves a woman.

Good piece...love is a choice guided by the principle of being contented with a partner you have. A guy for instance,might have brilliant plans and have achieved them but could not be committed to the relationship thereby making the partner to be facing a one-sided thing in the relationship.Another scenario could be that a guy having nice plans and all executed but all he labored destroyed in one day. Is required for the partner to run away to another person more successfu at the moment? It could mean to test your reliability in the relationship by God. I think there is no criteria in love rather there's a choice to spend your whole life with someone no matter the circumstances. What is important is a healthy lifestyle with your partner which have a lot to do with the longevity of the relationship. My advice to Women that extensively put their interests in criteria rather than choice for should have a rethink and borrow some common sense that will help them because different ups and downs are seen in the life of any relationship but if you are emotional mature you could get the best of that relationship. That's why more cases of domestic violences are rampant because men have the preoccupation that if they give their wives all she needed they have rights to trample on them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fred. But I don't think you got the message in this post. It's about building with a man rather than building a man. It's not about choosing a life partner based on material possessions or social strata. I suggest you go through again.
DeleteI was adding a little sauce to your beautiful write-up. I wasn't meant to say exactly what you wrote. I just think I should digress a bit. All the same nice piece for every woman.
ReplyDeleteAlright. Thank you so much Fred.
