Relationships are a delicate balance, and women often bear the brunt of the emotional strain. To avoid years of heartache, ulcers, and depression, women should follow these 10 commandments.
Published on November 5, 2019, these commandments offer practical advice for women navigating relationships.
Firstly, stop snooping through your partner's phone. For your health's sake, avoid the stress and potential high blood pressure that comes with it. If you're concerned, ask your partner to change their password to something you don't know.
Secondly, prioritize family planning. Abortion is a difficult and costly option; consider using apps like Flo to track your menstrual cycle and identify safe periods.
Thirdly, calculate the cost of leaving your partner, including house rent and feeding expenses. Start saving, even if it's just a little each week, and consider opening a secret account to build your financial independence.
Fourthly, stop stressing yourself out. Cook for yourself or your kids, and avoid doing special favors for your partner. Remember, their side chick is likely doing the same.
Fifthly, make friends and build a life outside of your relationship. This will help you maintain your identity and avoid losing yourself in the process.
Sixthly, recognize that prayer alone won't change your partner. Instead, pray for the strength to succeed in these commandments.
Seventhly, acknowledge that infidelity is common, but it's not worth the risk of high blood pressure or a toxic relationship.
Eighthly, mind your business and avoid getting involved in your partner's affairs. If they're abusive, it's time to leave.
Ninthly, if you decide to cheat, never send nude photos with your face visible. Video calls are also not safe, as they can be screenshot.
Tenthly, after all is said and done, focus on living, loving, and laughing.
