As women, we want big, strong men to take care of us. However, all too often I see women treating their men as a child and emasculating him until he shrinks within himself or he just leaves. DON’T BE THAT KIND OF WOMAN!
It is ever so easy to put power and control in his hands and at the same time creating bonds and intimacy within your relationship. One small example…your nails. Ladies, how often do you ask your man what he wants when you are headed to the salon? Never? Yeah, I figured.
Try this…next time you go to do your nails or are headed to the salon, ask him. “I’m going to do my nails, what color would you like me to wear?” He says red? Either ask follow up questions such as creme or metallic, or text him some pictures of the nail samples and let him choose. When he sees you in person, he will admire your nails and know he had a part in that. That you listened to him. You obeyed him. It’s just that easy to lift a man up and make him feel good about you and your relationship. You will learn what he likes and doesn’t like. Since you listened to him over something so seemingly trivial, he may open up and share more with you. This creates a bond between the two of you in such a simple way.
For my male readers, tell your girl that the next time she gets her nails done, you will pick her color. She will probably like your assertiveness and feel touched that you think her beauty routines are important.
