hy not just say: I love you. Isn't that enough? Dearest Women, members of my own sex and my own gender, NO--it's not enough to just tell him. There must be some substance behind those words. And I know that I am addressing Women of Substance: Women of Worth: Women who Love their Men: Women who will not go an extra mile for their men: Women who will go ten.
1*Be Patient
Love is wiling to wait. Love does not nag her man when he is late or for any other reason.
2*Be Kind
Love uses nice language. Love does not curse at her man. Love does not belittle or degrade her man. Love does not verbally abuse her man. Love does not make her man feel like he is less-than-a-man in front of his friends.
3*Be Gentle
Love is tender. She is soft. Her touch is gentle. Her tone of voice is gentle. And even her mannerisms are gentle.
4*Be NOT Envious
Love knows she can be confident. She does not look to other women as her measuring rod: she knows her own worth. She does not let the poison of jealousy infect her pure heart.
5*Be NOT Angry
Love can make her point without using anger. Love can even move mountains without anger. Love does not allow the poison of envy to infect her pure heart.
6*Be Enduring
Love stands her ground when times are tough. Love is tolerant even when she doesn't get her way. Love understands her man's point-of-view, and she endures hardship willingly because she is like a diamond in the rough that is only refined and made precious through the fire of tribulation.
7*Be Hopeful
Love has an abundance of hope. In herself. In God. In her man. In her family. In her friends. She can hold her head high--no matter what--because her hope is eternal.
8*Be Trusting
Love tells her man: I trust you. Love does not need to put up a fight every time her man directs the relationship, because love trusts her man: she knows that her man is her source of guidance. And he is one with her. Therefore, when she trusts in her man, her trust makes her whole and unified.
9*Be Yourself
Love does not need to imitate other women. Love knows her own true self. And love is true to her self. Love does not need to put on a show to impress her man. Love knows that she will never fail for as long as she is simply herself.
10*Be A Lady
Love knows when to cross her legs. She knows how to wear heels. She looks classy. Love is a lady and she never needs to stoop: she never needs to be less than a lady. Because she is a lady she keeps the heart of her man in blissful captivity.
