Being a "Girlfriend"
Being a girlfriend is not just about being beautiful and attractive for your guy. It's not just about letting him chase you, letting him do sweet things every time you're mad at him and not just receiving flowers and gifts during your anniversaries. It's not about doing those girly things just to get his attention and not just about feeling mighty every time he did everything you want. It's also being an emotional partner wherein you support him in every opportunity he takes, you appreciate everything he does for you and you thank him for doing it, you remind him on the things he must do and what he must not. Just because you know that you can always keep him on his feet doesn't mean that you can manipulate him. You understand him not just as a partner, but an individual too. You help him in every way showing him, that in a relationship, there's no "I" or "you", there's only "we" and "us". You know also that a man has their ego, and even when it becomes a little irritating sometimes, you still understand that it is part of his nature. A girlfriend is just not a term, it also has responsibilities that every girl must know.
You're a friend, a sister, a second mom, a teacher, and a best friend.
I found this quote on pinterest. I thought it was really good.
Especially since we had talked about a lot of this stuff with Libby in bible study.
So this is for the men we have in our life, and the men we will have. So much media is focus on pleasing ourselves. (media, ads, and movies) I like how this quote posts the kind of stuff we, as girls need to do.
And I can't write about this and not mention the Proverbs 31 woman. That is the ultimate example of the role model to follow.
So yeah. I hope you enjoyed this!
This was a really good post, Stephanie :) It's a good reminder.
