Before you start getting all up in arms about me being biased and taking the sides of women everywhere, I'd like you to know that I DO THINK that many points in this article apply to both men and women. No matter what anyone says--with marriage, friendships, and any kind of relationships, it takes two.
This article is not the best that I've read about love and relationships, but here is why I thought it was good.
- It shows the importance of balance in a relationship. Primarily on the man's side, but it shows it nonetheless. The article touches on the "fine line" that men have between being strong and being sensitive, which I think is fair. It mentions that since birth, men have been taught to be strong--don't cry, suck it up, protect and provide. Then when they get into a relationship, all of a sudden they have to be sensitive and caring. But they can't be too much of either because then they'll be less of the other. Balance.
- It doesn't just describe what women need to be happy, but promotes understanding. A friend once told me that it is human nature to be selfish. I can see that. The point here is that the way you liked to be loved may not be the way your partner wants to be loved. I think when you're in a relationship, it's important to know the other person, know what their needs and expectations are, and know yourself enough to know if you can and are willing to fulfill them.
