A Good Woman Will

A good woman will listen to her man: Men may not be as verbal as women, but they have things to say as well. We enjoy talking so much that it is important to remember how essential listening is. Just because you may not agree with what he’s saying doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hear him out and try to understand where he is coming from.  Sometimes he may just need a listening ear versus someone lecturing him on what to do. Listen to him, and make sure you give what he has said proper thought before responding. Don’t be so quick to be defensive if the topic pertains to you, because if he says it to you then obviously it really means something to him. Always make sure you have a welcoming attitude so that he feels comfortable talking to you. This will help with misunderstandings, and bring the two of you closer.

    I do love this list, but it’s missing a few things, like “A good woman will not sleep around” or “A good woman will know when to say no” or even “A good woman will know when to leave” I think the most attractive part of a woman is her personality and character, even if she encourages, supports, prays, or listens to her man, that’s only what she is giving, not necessarily who she is as a person. They are for sure the “fruit” of a good woman, but it begs the question “If that’s the fruit, what’s the rest of the tree like? What makes it grow” and “How can I support it as she is giving?” I love this train of thought.

      Hi and thank you for your feedback. You’re rights those are also characteristics of a good woman. Technically, an entire book could be written on the traits of a good woman. My aim here was just to name a few. A mere glimpse into my idea of what a good woman will do. So since this is just a glimpse you’ll be right on track to imagine that the rest of the tree is just as fruitful. I think these things do indeed say a lot of who she is as a person, but realistically speaking it will take personally getting to know a woman in order for a man to genuinely label her as “good”.

        Oh what a good word Curtrice,
        It really could be a great book one day, and I love what you said about it being a few “mere glimpses” because it flirts with the idea of there being more… And for gentlemen, that adventure in itself is attractive and worth pursuing. Thank you!

    YES! I have personally seen how praying turns everything around. When the flesh wants to fight, argue, or cause isolation, God guides us to love and give. His guidance is vital to any relationship.
