What's Love Got To Do With It

Individually, men and women have different natures but in our differences is harmony, we naturally compliment the other. When a man or a woman does not manifest their natural traits, it is a result of the environment and experience, not nature. It is not natural for a woman to take on the roles of a man and it is not natural for a man to take on the roles of a woman. Nowadays everything is backwards, females think they don't need a man and males don't want to be men. Why? What happened to the relationship between men and women and the sanctity of marriage?

The sanctity of marriage declined when the spirit of the woman declined. As long as women are on display like cheap jewelry, we will continue to be disrespected and devalued. It is a shame that many young girls and women believe that the more skin you show the more confidence you have. Why do we equate the value of something with being seen? That is FALSE confidence. Because God is love, self-love and self-confidence starts with Him. Everything starts with Him. We shouldn't require approval from anyone but God. But what does this have to do with relationships? Well, many women tend to put all of the blame on men and say they need to make a come up, but we don't want to take responsibility ourselves. This needs to stop.

There's a saying that goes, "It's a man's job to respect women but it's a woman's job to give him something to respect." Both men and women need to be guided to rediscover the value in the other by understanding the value of ourselves. Women, let's look at this logically, what reason have you given him to marry you? You have already given him full access to you, he practically lives with you, you have three children with him and since you're not married, if difficulty arises he can leave as he pleases. It just doesn't make sense to him. So what will make him settle down? First and foremost, if he is a spiritually undeveloped male he will NOT settle down. He will mistreat and use a woman. He will do nothing but cause damage. But if he is a spiritually developed man, he will recognize your value and respect you, IF you are a woman who respects and values herself. If not, he will pass you by. A righteous man does not want an unrighteous woman and vise versa. Minister Farrakhan teaches that there is a difficulty factor attached to everything of value. The greater the value, the greater the difficulty. The value a man places on you is directly proportional to the challenge he faces in order to be with you. Many of us make it so easy for a man to be with us. We expose ourselves without a care in the world. Back in the day, most of the women dressed modestly. Their skirts didn't come above their knees and their shirts didn't go too far below their collarbone. Ignoring modesty plays right into the hands of the majority of the male population. Modesty forces men to respect you, acknowledge your character and interact with you as a person. Males are thrilled to see you walking down the street improperly dressed. That means that there is less work for them.

Like I always say, modesty isn't limited to the way we dress, it is also defined by how we think and act. And modesty doesn't just apply to women, it applies to men too. To practice modesty means that we are denying ourselves daily of ungodly desires. Both men and women need to start holding ourselves accountable for our actions, intentions and thoughts. If we as a whole don't straighten up we will never see the validity in the other, and it will continue to result in discombobulated (meaning: disconnected or unbalanced) relationships. We have to respect and value one another in order to benefit from each others spiritual evolution.
