Through A Man’s Eyes…

“It Takes 2″

As a young man still learning the inexhaustible characteristics of a woman I seem to always find myself caught in a particular lecture called “Things a Man Should be Doing for a Woman.” I hear from women all the time about the things their mother, grandma, aunt, etc. tells them of how a man should treat a lady. He should be respectful, open doors, always offer to pay when you go out, cater to your needs, be courteous, a protector, provider, and the list goes on. I, for one, honestly agree! I see nothing wrong with a man doing all of those things, in fact, I encourage females to have high standards and expect that from a man. The one thing that does trouble me is for some females the lines of communication got mixed up or the channel got cut off when that motherly figure spoke about “How a Woman Should Treat a Man.”

A princess or queen should be treated as a princess or queen; conversely a prince or a king needs to be treated as a prince or king. I feel why would you expect for a man to give you the world if you’re not willing to do the same for him? I understand women and men work in different ways, however we need special attention just like you do. You may have heard of the 5 languages of love: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. While all 5 of these languages are important, each individual values their importance in unique ways. It is up to you to know and find out which ones are the most important to your partner.

For example, I may love getting gifts but I may prefer to get words of affirmation. This may be the reason he’s always asking you questions like “How do you feel about me?” or “Do you care/love me?” When you make the effort to really understand a person and what makes them happy, not only will that person return the favor, but you will be satisfied on the notation that you made him happy as well. This is of course if you find a person who is already willing to do these things. We also have to remember it’s not all about making a person happy, but making a person better as well. What do you bring to the table or what can you offer to the relationship? In the Bible it talks about being equally yoked and iron sharpening iron. With this, not only will the relationship be a good relationship, but it will be better than you imagined.

The perfect example of balance comes from the King of the Jungle; the lioness (queen) are the ones that hunt and bring back the food, while the male lion’s (the king) job is to protect the entire pride from any intruders. While they are 2 different tasks they are both equally important for their survival, happiness and well being. So to all of the Princesses/Queens- always treat your Princes/Kings right as long as he continues to fight for your kingdom.

Inspirationally Yours,
