A Woman's Question Every Man Should Know About

Let a woman ask you l Image taken from weheartit.com

           
  Many of us young hopeful hearts today go into relationships that in some way gratify our search for emotional happiness with our gender counterparts. We get ourselves absorbed into it for reasons like we get a sense of belonging to it, we benefit from the company and emotional attachment of the other person, or we prove a little something to ourselves that despite our mediocrity and personal defects, there is still someone who believes in us and in everything that we do.  

We eventually get a little less careful of ourselves because we are confident that someone else is there to remind us of our daily worth.

               Men in particular are entitled to every relationship’s beginnings since they are primarily the ones tasked to establish things in the love cycle. But does the idea mentioned in the previous paragraph really present the essence of a relationship— and marriage? 

Here is an excerpt written by Lena Lathrop from the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris. Thanks to Sean Si for writing about this, it encouraged me to get my own share in influencing and spreading to you (every woman) the message to regard highly of yourself as one , and to you (every man) to reassess and dignify your view about us, your female equivalent.

A Woman’s Question by Lena Lathrop (I Kissed Dating Goodbye)

                             Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing

Ever made by the Hand above?

A woman’s heart, and a woman’s life -

And a woman’s wonderful love.

Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing

As a child might ask for a toy?

Demanding what others have died to win,

With the reckless dash of a boy.

You have written my lesson of duty out,

Manlike, you have questioned me.

Now stand at the bars of my woman’s soul

Until I shall question thee.

You require your mutton shall always be hot,

Your socks and your shirt be whole;

I require your heart be true as God’s stars

And as pure as His heaven your soul.

You require a cook for your mutton and beef,

I require a far greater thing;

A seamstress you’re wanting for socks and shirts –

I look for a man and a king.

Is it a love that lasts forever? l Image taken from weheartit.com

I am fair and young, but the rose may fade

From this soft young cheek one day;

Will you love me then ‘mid the falling leaves,

As you did ‘mong the blossoms of May?

I may launch my all on its tide?

A loving woman finds heaven or hell On the day she is made a bride..

I require all things that are grand and true,

All things that a man should be;

If you give this all, I would stake my life

To be all you demand of me.

If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook

You can hire and little to pay;

But a woman’s heart and a woman’s life

Are not to be won that way.

Men, do you realize how important a woman’s part in a relationship is that only gets neglected? You might want to consider some time to think if you’re pursuing a woman or loving a woman for all the right reasons. Relationships and marriage are not solutions or better options to living a more pleasurable life. If you depend on its ability to bring happiness and on the woman’s ability to give enduring affection, you’re off-target.

Sean Si was right when he said in his entry,” Pursue a woman if you’re ready to marry her and don’t overlook marriage as simply sex and love and pleasure. It is a lifetime commitment and service on both your parts. Emotions will fade, our bodies will grow old and weary but your marriage will be held fast by God.”

Seriously think about it.
