Relationship coach John Aslay says there are three types of men: users, spenders, and builders.
Too many women waste time with a user, while some get fooled by a spender. What we need to do is give time and energy only to builders.
I just want to make it clear that it's not about being desperate for a man to validate one's own worth. I view a relationship (specifically marriage) as something that I'd want only because I have enough of myself to share it with someone else AND I want a partner. It's actually from a very practical POV as well. Sure, many of us can pay our own rent, buy our own food, and take care of other basic needs. But it would be much better to have someone else assist us and vice versa. It's actually a very smart thing to do, which is what our ancestors used to do. And if you can't do any of those things by yourself, it's even smarter for you to get married so that you have a helper. Obviously, it would be much sweeter when there is also true attraction, chemistry, respect, joy, friendship and all that good, warm, fuzzy feelings. And trust me, those of you who make your career your life, your career is even better when you have someone there cheering you along the way. You'll actually feel more excited and motivated to do your job because you don't come home alone and still have to do the dishes. lol!
