Man Up Woman Down Part 1
A wise woman once explained to me why women aren't designed to provide for their families as the "head" of their household. She told me that carrying such a burden stresses their emotions, which stresses their health, attitude, and so forth. What I've come to understand is that majority of women would rather play an assisting role in providing because they naturally do more when it comes to family and relationship. Men start respecting your woman as your woman instead of treating her as your mother. Value her as your backbone and not your provider, and I guarantee she will go above the call of duty when needed! Until next time. One love, one heart! -B.B.

As far as playing an assisting role, that's what we are supposed to do. We are NOT supposed to take on the burdens that our male counterparts take on. We were not built to handle stress in the way that they are. I recently had this conversation with my male hair stylist. He was saying that in today's society if a woman isn't working, going to school AND taking care of home, then she's looked at as being inferior therefore she starts to feel that way. As a stay at home mom of two boys I feel as if that statement is very true. Not many people understand how much works really goes into being a housewife/stay at home mom. We don't just sit around all day twiddling our thumbs lol. And the thing about it is, it's a 24/7 job. Just because my husband gets home from work doesn't mean that my job is done for the day. Nope that means I start preparing for the night shift lbs. As hard as it is, I'm learning to step back and let my husband lead our family in the direction that God wants us to go in. Most of the time women as so used to being independent or the sole provider that, when a man who can and wants to lead comes into the picture, she can't let go of that independent role. I believe this is why many couples struggle in their relationships. There are specific roles that we all have to play and until we (men and women) figure them out, our relationships will continue to struggle.
