From childhood rhymes, to
contemporary literature, to the bible – people have been talking about the
differences between men and ladies. We’re obsessed with identifying the things
that make us uniquely man, or lady.
We’ll start with some things about
ladies that every man needs to know:
-
Ladies don’t want you to fix it, they just want you
to listen. Ladies
just want to feel validated, supported, and heard.
-
Ladies appreciate the little things. Believe it or not, when it comes to
impressing ladies, you don’t have to go big or go home. This applies to all
things, because what they are really looking for is thoughtfulness. Kind words,
meaningful touch, and small acts of service. Your love is best communicated in
the details.
Don’t
mistake their tears for weakness. Men, as you learn to understand these tears, remember that
they are not a sign of weakness- but a sign of strength. The strength to be
real, vulnerable, and genuine. The strength to be passionate, compassionate and
the strength to actually feel.
-
Ladies wake up looking a whole lot different than
when they went to bed.
I’ve participated and I still can’t
seem to figure out why in the world ladies wake up looking like
crazy-zombie-people, while men looks even cuter. Somehow, ladies decompose
through the night to an almost unrecognizable state in the morning. It’s
something I feel that all men should know so they have an idea of exactly what
it is they’re getting into.
The worst
thing you can do to make a lady to calm down, is to tell her to relax.
In fact, there’s probably no other
word that could get us more worried. What is it about the word relax that
drives ladies so lonely? Not sure, but most ladies I talk to feel the exact
same way. Remember to always handle ladies with care.
-
Ladies want to be your partner, not your mother.
Ladies have the unhealthy tendency
of taking care of the men in their lives and then resenting them. The truth is,
they were made to nurture, but in marriage and in healthy relationships, that
nurturing needs to be played out in the context of a give-and-take
relationship. They want to serve, yet they also need to be served. They want to
give, but we also need to feel that we’re receiving. They want to be able to
take care of their man, but just as much, they want to feel that the man is
taking good care of them.
-
Ladies think a man’s most attractive quality, is his
heart.
No matter what other messages this
world may feed you, don’t ever lose sight of this most important thing. Your
faith, purity, character, honesty and integrity are more meaningful to any good
lady than all else you could offer her. Our culture might make you feel
like good guys come out last, but it’s those good guys that Godly ladies want
to spend the rest of our lives with.
Men and
ladies can often see life in different ways, but the beauty of different
perspectives, is that they lend themselves to us doing life together. Here’s to God’s creativity, a
creativity that is seen through our genders, in our personalities, and among
all of our relationships.
May the Holy Spirit grant you more
wisdom and may He teach you how to care, love and communicate with the ladies around you in Jesus Name, Amen.
Jesus Loves You.
