In spite of all of this, however, men should stop feeling so full of themselves and remember that the woman who holds them up need support too even if they don’t ever sit in boardrooms to make tough decisions.
And women, supporting your man does not mean abandoning your own dreams and goals either.
Support is a two way street of sacrifice. A lot of times, we hear that women are meant to support their husbands but what does that really mean?
I think that support should be a two-way thing, first and foremost. The way many of us say it, it seems as though it is only the woman who ought to support her husband but where does that leave her? I can already imagine the men equating support here to giving her some money to start a business.
While that is part and parcel of support, that is not all that it entails. The same way men would want their women to stand by them through thick and thin is the same way that women want to be supported. They want to be listened to; to know that their men do not merely see them as fixtures in the home but people who deserve to be acknowledged and appreciated and they need their men to fight alongside them when the need arises.
Likewise, the same kind of support I just described that women require is what men also want. Yet, more emphasis seems to be given to men needing it. I understand that the way men are wired, they have the urge to provide for the home and make a name for themselves while the world system does not make that easy so they need a strong support system. The truth is that without the emotional tenacity of women to hold up the men, they would burn out from all that they face daily.
In spite of all of this, however, men should stop feeling so full of themselves and remember that the woman who holds them up need support too even if they don’t ever sit in boardrooms to make tough decisions.
