The most likely outcome is that a woman demonstrating respect for herself and also respect for her man in this way is going to inspire him to become more devotional to her. The more he devotes, the more his woman can safely submit further to his leadership while still maintaining self-respect as a worthy woman. The more she submits, the more her wo

If he doesn't feel his gifts are valuable, then he will feel less valuable as a man. He will feel like he is unworthy to her, which makes him feel disrespected and even rejected. To avoid feeling that way, he will eventually stop giving to his woman. It's not because he doesn't love her or value her or respect her. It's because he doesn't feel love

My mind was completely unfocused on what she might need, because her silence communicated that what I was giving her was enough. Whenever we were together, I would only be focused on what I needed.

What one woman needs isn't necessarily what another woman needs. Being able to properly express needs is of critical importance for a woman to be able to do. If needs are not expressed, they will almost certainly not be met. A woman communicates that she is worthy when she can express her needs directly and without apology. She knows her needs matt

A woman who is worthy will always express her needs. She expresses them because she knows that her needs matter, she knows that they deserve to be met. Her needs are just as important as her man's needs. She knows that she would be disrespecting herself if she didn't speak up when she has a need, so she always expresses herself, even if it makes he
