To a woman, a relationship is like a house. The foundation is his commitment, the walls are his self-respect (not hers), and the roof is his provisioning.

As she tries to make this house a home, adding beauty and softness and things that need care...
... she will never stop testing the strength of these walls.

But don& #39;t expect her to see see beyond these walls. Everything that happens to her is a sign of either safety or danger. Every reaction instills either trust or fear.

Nature selected for this trait in females..
...so she can fulfill her biological imperative of finding a safe place for our babies to grow. Don& #39;t get mad at it.

Recognize that even "Do I look fat in these jeans" is about survival.

In fact, if she& #39;s testing you, it means she& #39;s choosing to live inside your house...
..she& #39;s granting you permission to create for her the boundaries of her emotionality, the space that her frailty (and the frailty of her babies) will live within.

Don& #39;t hate these tests. Don& #39;t bitch about these tests. It& #39;s an honor. But don& #39;t fuck them up either...
Responding with logic shows you& #39;re blind to the dance.

Responding with emotion shows you& #39;re unsafe, because you& #39;re adding to HER emotional burden.

Hold that frame. Everything she& #39;s feeling is temporary. It& #39;s kind of amusing. It& #39;s cute. Beautiful even. And remember...
... what James Brown said:

"This is a man& #39;s world. This is a man& #39;s world.
But it wouldn& #39;t be nothing, nothing, without a woman or a girl".
