And immediately I felt the need to react as I can’t agree.
Although I reacted on Facebook as well I think it's important to write my reaction on my blog too
To me this saying lays the responsibility of man’s behavior solemnly in the hands of a woman.
In a direct man-woman relationship there a two people involved.
Both have their share in what’s going on.
In a functional relationship both partners feel responsible to invest in each other, in house and family, both tolerate differences, both learn means of communication, both develop the willpower to consult each other, both are giving and receiving partners and each one supports the other.
In order to have such a relationship it takes the willingness and effort to look at oneself first.
It takes guts to dare to look inside and to acknowledge aspects one is not keen on to notice.
It takes love for oneself to accept that we are who we are and not who we think or would like to be .
It takes perseverance to question oneself as we all are influenced by thoughts, feelings and behavior of others too.
It takes love and courage to listen to your partner (and others)too and to admit certain things need change.
I can only say: Treat the other person the way you like to be treated yourself.
