O, Men! Being Gentle With Women Brings Out The Best In Them

“His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him, that nature might stand up and say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!” ~ William Shakespeare

Let me begin by stressing to the men and women. Placing gentleness where gentleness belongs is a part of masculinity. To my male counterparts, own this part of your essence. To the women who are paying attention, don’t settle for a male who offers you less.

I must state the obvious. Women are different from men in many ways. Authentic masculinity dictates that men be gentle and strong. It’s part of a woman’s nature to be delicate and sensitive. These are the reasons why women’s emotions are played differently in their hearts than in the hearts of men.

As a result, men need to understand that quality time with her is part of the gentleness that enhances her condition. However, it’s not a one-sided issue. Spending more time with each other helps improve communication, and good communication leads to increased closeness. This, in turn, leads to maturity and growth in the relationship.

Growth is a detox process, as our weakest, darkest places are sucked up to the surface in order to be released…often, it is not a change in partners but rather a change in perception that delivers us to the love we seek.-Marianne Williamson

The growth that happens due to the man spending time and being gentle with his partner will bring out the caretaker in her. This will allow her to encourage you and give you strength during times when you feel weak. Be intentional with your efforts to treat her with more affection, respect, and love.

Health studies show that when people are in a good mood, the body’s natural cells which annihilate tumors and viruses are excreted. A good mood is like having an elevated sense of well-being. In addition, blood pressure is lowered when a person is relaxed or happy.

Laughter is also good for your health because it helps increase oxygen in the blood. The presence of oxygen in the blood helps improve cellular growth and healing. A positive mood helps improve the various biochemical processes including oxygenation, cell development, and blood circulation.

With a high level of optimism, a person is able to harness the power and will to live. The combination of positive thinking and a healthy emotional condition helps a person become immune to certain diseases and ailments. In research conducted at the University of Maryland Medical Center, it was found that elevated moods were a factor in eliminating the physical and emotional symptoms of depression.

They added increased blood flow, usually achieved during physical exercise, can also be attained through laughter. Laughing, according to volumes of research on the subject, helps trigger the release of endorphins, which are substances that produce natural analgesic or pain-relieving effects in the body.

Our thoughts really do create our lives. They’ve done a lot of research showing if you’re an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you’re a sad, depressed, negative person.-Alana Stewart

Negative emotions and psycho-emotional conditions like depression, anger, anxiety, and stress have been found to be related to heart disease and may decrease sexual performance. Major depression is nearly twice as common in women (21%) than in men (12.7%). This statistic alone shows that gentle treatment of women affects them more profoundly than men.

However, these emotional problems can be surmounted if men treat women with more fairness and sensitivity. Stress management therapy is oftentimes necessary to counter the effects of these negative feelings. These negative feelings can be avoided if men treat women with more dignity and equality.

These socio-cultural and relational adjustments from men may indeed help improve women’s health in the long run. Mushy as it may sound, men should make their female counterparts feel that they are special, loved, and truly cared for.

The health benefits of ‘worthwhile’ relationships have been often taken for granted. Appreciation and love have taken a back seat in this era of technology. Lovers prefer to send emails, text messages, and instant messages rather than old-fashioned love letters. I love you’s are now more often ‘texted’ instead of being said in person.

Gift-giving has become so routine and customary that it is only done during birthdays, valentine’s day, and other special occasions. The act of giving gifts has lost its spontaneity, richness, and essence. Not too long ago, gifts were given as a sign of love and passion. Men used to surprise women with simple gifts. The total unexpectedness of the gift only makes it more special for women.

Men in intimate relationships should bear in mind that their counterparts need to be loved and respected. Treat them better, buy them flowers, or give them gifts every once in a while. If she is surprised and asks you, What’s the occasion? Just say, “Nothing… Just because it’s …day.”
