The role of the man

It is evident that the world we live in is hinged on relationships. Relationships is our tool of perception and modus operandi in our everyday life. If you're an avid reader of my blogs, you will notice that I seem to focus more on love relationships. What is a love relationships? Well love relationships are relationships that are borne out of attraction and longing to express heartfelt feelings and possibly spend a lifetime with someone special to you.  For this type of relationship to work, it is highly important for both parties in the relationship to be knowledgeable of their roles in order to effectively do what is required of them in the relationship.  So what is the role of the man in a relationship? Well the man in a relationship is like a driver of a vehicle.  He should know when to slow down, accelerate and pump the brakes. The use of the symbol vehicle here refers to the relationship.  Wonder why women prefer a man that has a car? The reason is not to have a man drive them places. That is what taxis or Uber cars are there for.  However, women prefer a man with a car because a car or a vehicle lets a woman know that the man in question has a drive, a passion and hopefully a destination in life. In short, it symbolizes ambition. A man in a relationship is like a husbandman because his job is to cultivate the relationship and keep it alive.  When a man finds a woman he loves and he gets her to be his, the work of the man has just began. That man is supposed to love that woman to his taste.  You might say what does it mean to love a woman to your taste? When a man loves his woman to his taste, he is simply pruning that woman to the woman he has always wanted.  There is no such thing as a perfect woman but there is a woman that is or can be perfect for each man.  Now, the role of a man is to find such woman and prune that woman to the woman that can be perfect for him.  Notice how I did not use the word "change" because you cannot change a person.  When you try to change a person, it simply means that person is not meant for you but may just be perfect for someone else.  Pruning means triming or modifying. Imagine taking a picture that is a great shot but it is a little dark or a little dull but you see the potential in that shot so u edit it and it turns out to be what you wished it would be.  That's pruning. So, instead of looking at other women and wishing yours was like her, invest in yours.  She may be a little big or out of shape.  Take her to the gym, go on a street run with her or buy her a treadmill on her birthday or for Christmas. She's not sexy as you might want her to be?  Take a trip to Victoria secret or any lingerie shop and get her what you'd love to see her wear for you. Prune her into that perfect woman you'd fantasize over and love endlessly.  However, you have to be a man first before doing all these things.  When you are in control of your role as a man to your woman, your relationship stays strong and your woman remains perfect to you. Next month's blog will discuss the role of women in a relationship.

If you have read any of my blogs, you would know how I always emphasize the importance of relationships in our existence. Relationships not only gives meaning to our existence, but it also drives our daily routine and life. Our survival, adaptation and ability to exercise our emotions all stem from our engagements in different relationships. Therefore, it is safe to say that relationships play a key role in our lives. Every relationship we form with people is imperative to our growth as an individual, because those relationships in my many ways depicts who we are as a person. Our relationships with others may be important but the most important relationship we could ever form is the one we have with ourselves. Although, this is the most important relationship and the one that requires most of our energy and intentions towards building, it is the one we shy away from the most. We go into relationships with many people without actually having a proper understanding of who we are as a p...

Submissiveness in marriage

    The topic of women being submissive in marriage has been one that has drawn a lot of negative reactions from women in recent years. I believe this could be as a result of bad leadership from some men, the influence of social media on relationships, differences in eras in relation to women’s progression in the work force or society amongst other reasons. However, this topic is a sensitive one and one that goes beyond couple of reasonings that may fuel the negative connotations.  Couple of months ago, I had a conversation with a colleague who is a woman and our discussion centred on roles of women and men in a marriage. She argued that women and men are equal in a marriage and there is nothing as submissiveness that should be expected from a woman and that the man is not the leader or head of the household. So is this true? Are these the feelings or sentiment shared by women in marriages or those seeking to be in marriages? Although, I believe that God is the author of ...

50/50: The mathematics of marriage?

 I spent some time with my mum today. We talked about a lot of things that revolved around me and life in general. The topic of marriage came up and we talked about how marriage and the idea of marriage had evolved over the years. Marriage back in her time and that of her parents or grand parents were based on the very basic things that mattered back then. Men chose to marry women who were polite, had a nice smile or simply just because they came from a good, reputable family. Those were the simpler times. Times when the parameters set for a mate can be argued to have been based on quality over quantity. Nowadays, marriage is a whole different ball game.  I believe everyone knows that marriage is a union of two souls to become one. However, some people going into marriage don't understand that it is a not a transactional relationship but one that is meant to collectively pull singular resources together to achieve an expected goal. This is because some women believe that the m...
