Are You Lifting Your Man Up?
by Can you be a partner to your man? Or must you always find a reason to harass him? Decide if you are lifting your man up or putting him down? You decide!
“Are you listening to me?”
He said, “You always got something to say”
She said, “Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah”
He said, “There you go again just running your mouth and not listening to me”
She said, “Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap”
He said, “I’m not going to continue to allow you to treat me this way”
She said, “Humph. Whatever. Right.”
He said, “See that’s just what I’m talking about. You don’t take me serious. You don’t support me.”
She said, “Get over yourself.”
He said, “Oh.” And then just walked away.
Are You Lifting Your Man Up or Tearing Him Down?
This is a sensitive topic that many times can harbor ill feelings amongst women that are called upon it. When entering into relationships, it can be a win-win situation or a hurtful instance. A relationship is defined by Webster as a romantic or passionate attachment. Healthy relationships are just that passionate and romantic. They bring out the best in the individuals and make for something lasting to talk about.
In a relationship, everyone has their role to play. Their respective roles maintain a certain balance that allows the relationship to being nourished and grow. A healthy relationship encourages compromise and compassion. But when both parties forget their purpose and their role, then the relationship falters and someone gets hurt.
A man in a committed relationship wants to be appreciated and loved. He wants to feel that he has an equal stake in the relationship. He doesn’t ever want to feel like he’s just there for the taking. Just like women get overwhelmed and frustrated with the day-to-day routine of things, men do to. A man does not like to feel that his qualms fall upon deaf ears. Sometimes he needs to feel as if he is being given a shoulder to cry on.
A man should be the pillar of strength in a relationship. But that pillar can become fragile and suffer breakage if he does not feel empowered. Don’t allow your man to falter and lose his strength and courage. Remember to do the little things that snagged him in the first place. Spend the time reflecting on what’s important, planning, and discussing your dreams and aspirations. Spend time enjoying one another’s company so that the pressures of the day do not overwhelm the relationship that the two of you have built together.
Believe in your man so that he will have no doubts about his self-worth to you. Don’t turn a good man into the dawg that some other woman will misuse and abuse. Make your man feel like the king you want him to be and he will in many cases be that king and more. Rally behind your man through the tough times and he will weather the storms that life will bring.
If this offends some, I make no apologies. If this inspires changes in others, you are to be commended for taking a step back and looking within self. If this encourages others to push forward, you go girl because your man must be worth the fight. Remember to love that man of your even when it seems impossible. He may just turn out to be all that you hoped him to be. Lift that man up girl!
