An Open Letter to Women from Men



Dear Women,
First of all, we’re sorry. We’re sorry that although we look like men, we often act like boys. We’re not even sure what it means to be men anymore. As we grow up, we learn that to be happy is to be self-indulgent and self-centered. We try to make enough money so that we can have the right TV with the right video games in the right home. We want to date you and maybe even marry you but we are scared to focus on someone else instead of ourselves. Isn’t it sad that we see committing to you as a potential threat to our happiness instead of a wonderful opportunity?
Here’s what we don’t understand: True happiness comes from being true men. We think and act like boys who don’t want their toys taken away. We look up to “role models” in the media who teach us to get as much gratification out of life as possible. We may claim to be spiritual, or even firm atheists, but pleasure is the god that we worship, whether we realize it or not. Unfortunately, women tend to be just another part of our hedonistic lifestyle. Please know this: True men won’t treat you like an irritating obstacle or a sexual convenience.
A real man understands that women are to be cherished and treated with care and honor. He sees marriage as the opportunity to be a real-life superhero—he leaves behind his old identity and becomes a new person, dedicated to serving his wife and children. Although he will struggle at first, a true man who marries eventually understands that he can’t fit through the narrow doorway to happiness if he tries to carry all of his toys with him. There is just enough room for him and his wife, arm in arm, committed to their marriage.
Women, you can help us become real men! Most importantly, we want to feel admired by you. Help us to know that you love us just as we are, even if there is room for improvement. Do this by giving us words of validation; praise us for the things we do well. This means more to us than we let on.
In return, we will make sure that you feel loved and cherished by us. We will learn to talk with you so you can be heard and understood, not so that we can tell you how to solve your problems. We’ll also try to learn to express how we feel without withdrawing or getting angry. With polished communication we can learn that what makes you happy makes us happy too! What a concept!
Once again, we’re sorry. We are to blame, even though good male role models are hard to find these days. We’ve ignored our calling to become true men and instead act like we’re in high school for as long as we can. Please trust that we are capable of more than this.
If you are frustrated with the man in your life, do your best to forgive him and start fresh. After a while, if it’s clear that he will not become a real man, leave him. You deserve better.
A healthy relationship will make everyone involved feel happy. When we are happy, we are capable of living meaningful and fulfilling lives alongside one another. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we journey onward to find happiness and become real men.
Sincerely,
Men

4 Keys Ways to Love Your Life Partner More

If you are in a relationship where you feel that your partner loves you so much, but you don’t feel that kind of love, then you must know the answer of this question. Keeping love in a relationship is extremely important to keep the connection alive. There is always a connection between you and your partner. You have to understand it and prepare yourself in such a way that your partner also feels a connection with you. The stronger the connection is, the stronger is your relationship.
If the connection is weak between you and your partner, you must be careful about yourself and how much you contribute to the relationship. This is what will ultimately decide how much strong your relationship. If the relationship is strong, the connection must be strong. So if you want to keep a good relationship with your partner, you should always keep an eye on building a strong connection with your life partner. This is what would ultimately teach you how to love your partner more than ever before. The following points are very helpful to build a strong connection with your life partner.
1, Understand Your Partner’s Feelings.
It is very important that you understand what your partner wants from you. It is also very important to understand what your partner doesn’t like. Though it may not be always possible to agree with whatever your partner wants, it is better not to get into any altercation with your partner. The more you would understand your partner’s feelings, the more there is a chance for you to build a connection with your partner. If you love your partner so much, your partner would also feel that. Because it is your true feelings. At least, most of the time it happens.
I don’t know when someone doesn’t understand true love. But according to me, if someone truly loves a person, there is enough chance for that person to understand it. If someone is acting to love so much, it will ultimately be caught. By the way, if there is true love in a relationship, there is enough chance to create a strong connection. So understand your partner’s feelings at first.
2, Give Value to Your Partner’s Likes and Dislikes.
Try to give enough value for what your partner wants and doesn’t want. If your partner doesn’t like you to do something, try not to do that if possible. Don’t try to cheat your partner and do something that your partner doesn’t like. One day, you will be caught and you might not have anything to say. Your relationship might break or even if it doesn’t break, there will be very little chance to build a good connection again. Don’t just try to keep a good connection with your partner, but keep it all the time.
Giving value to your partner’s feelings will make it possible for your partner to understand your feelings. This is what is actually required that your partner understands your love. This will also express how much importance you give to the relationship. Believe me, your partner would like it. This is the time, the connection between you and your partner is going to be strong.

3, Don’t Insult Your Partner’s Feelings.
Giving value to whatever your partner wants may not be possible all the time. But even if you don’t like what your partner likes, there is no need to argue. Don’t try to show what you are liking is good and what your partner likes is not good. It will hurt your partner. Rather, don’t say anything.
Do not make any comments on what you feel and what your partner feels. If you really want to make your partner understand it, you may do something to make your partner understand it, without saying it directly. Once your partner feels it and understand the mistake, you may say something on that, but not before that.
4, Don’t Argue with Your Partner Frequently.
People don’t like someone who always try to show that he ( she ) is right. You may be right in your decision. But your partner may not agree with you. Remember, everyone has a different kind of mentality. So everyone will always have a different kind of understanding on a single thing.
May be, what your partner is thinking is wrong. But according to your partner, that is right and what you are thinking is wrong. At this moment, if you directly argue with your partner about that, your partner will not like it. Rather, you should keep quite and find a suitable time to talk about it.
Arguments would never bring a good solution. But without arguing, if you just talk about what is right and wrong, you partner might catch your point of view. If there is a connection of love between you and your partner, it is quite easy to get a solution to any problem. If your partner is a little different, it might be a little difficult for you to make it possible.
However, whatever the condition is, altercation with your partner is never a good habit. It doesn’t help you build a good connection with your partner. In a relationship, there are many other things you may need to be careful about, but  following the above rules would surely help you a lot.
