“A mans wife has more power over him
than the state has.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can a woman “change” a man? Perhaps, but probably not in the sense some women may hope. We’ve all seen the henpecked husband who does whatever his wife tells him to do. He’s not happy and neither is she.
But a woman can use her powerful influence to subtly guide and encourage a man to be all he was created to be. Her subtle, refined grace arouses within him, a passion which impacts his character and his life.
The Percy Sledge song “When a Man Loves a Woman” talks about the extremes a man will go for a woman’s love. That love he has for you gives you great power. The question is: do you use that power for superficial gains or as a long-term investment in both your futures?
Most men won’t change or grow on their own without external motivation. But that love for you can motivate him to make mighty changes. As Jack Nicholson says to Helen Hunt in the movie, As Good as It Gets, “you make me want to be a better man”.
To some degree, this is how a woman should approach her man— to encourage him to do something without anyone else seeing you do it. I really believe he wants to make you happy, he just doesn’t know how. Your willingness to use your influence to gently steer him in the right direction makes both of you happy and more satisfied.
I also believe that most men truly want to satisfy their woman in all areas. They secretly yearn to reach their full potential and become worthy of admiration and respect from other men, especially their woman. Your influence and whether or not he can satisfy your needs can make or break him as he goes through life.
In the future weeks, I want to discuss more about how you, as a woman, can encourage your man to really become “your man”.
Until next time,
