Why on earth should I act the damsel in distress? I’m a perfectly capable, independent woman!

Join Leah and understand why needing your husband and asking him for help will bring more harmony to your relationship.

Leah’s Points To Ponder:

• We need to give our husbands a chance to be our hero.
• Western society preaches independence but in fact, a man deeply wants to feel needed by his woman and a woman deeply wants her man to come to her rescue.
• Our mesorah(tradition) teaches us that when a husband gives to his wife in this way it causes more blessing to come into the home.
• We need to allow our husbands to make the final decision. If we communicate our requests in the right way, with kindness and an effort to keep the peace, he will want to give us the outcome we want.
• If we don’t get the outcome we want but we manage to keep the shalom(peace,) that is extremely powerful and meaningful.
• A husband’s privilege is to look after his wife and when she lets go and allows him to, closeness prevails.
• A husband doesn’t want to hear directives nor whinging- it’s about finding the balance between pushy and pathetic.
• Men are constantly knocked down in the wider world, by being his damsel in distress we can pump him up into a hero.
