He had strengths and weaknesses, as had I. We respected and honored those differences. Few seem today to understand that basic principle of relationships. It is not sexist, merely wisely practical

Yes , I think I know what you're talking about. I am puzzled, sometimes deeply dissappointed by how persons treat one another.There are many moments when I smile,seeing family and friends together. It shouldn't be such a giant leap for each of us to understand,listen,forgive,and care just a bit more. It takes courage, and faith and Love.
I can always use as much of those three things that I can bring to bear in my own life.
We just need to start listening to each other,a little more carefully.

Only when honesty and truthfulness is present in any relationship. Don’t you agree.?

No, not exactly. Being honest sometimes obfuscates the truth. Did I kiss so and so? Yes, but.... The "but" often gets lost. The damage is done when no damage existed. An innocent exchange between friends becomes something sinister. In honesty...but not in truthfulness.

Such tenderness you show. Thank you. A good heart, which the world will attack at every opportunity. Know you are a force against evil. Be strong in your decency. Listen, forgive, and care as you said yet with the power of the Holy Spirit. You are a Warrior. The extreme power of your decency and humility is a mighty gift from God.
Just realized another spelling error: I said "our differnet tasks." Dang. I meant "different." If I post any more titles it will be with dictionary in hand.

It is not flattery, just an observation. Flattery is vile, a lie. It puffs us up. For me, by what you said, you are grounded in the Holy Spirit, not your ego. Rock on, as they say now.

Men should be men and women, women..
Respecting the differences is what makes it so intriguing..
I’m glad we’re different and I love learning every day just how different we are that makes us live and love even more..
Your attraction and respect comes from their uniqueness, their thoughts and heart..I hope I never stop “learning of and about him “..
Is it a stigmatism to have diverse roles and responsibilities? I think not...
I think it keeps a balance of our acceptance to those things we are actually doing together..

Where there is no trust, there is no relationship..
One of the mutual traits in the sexes... I believe both hold high standards of the need for truthfulness..

The question was not about trust. Everyone lies, for a multitude of good and bad reasons. "I love that sweater on you. You look very masculine." Said because of how proudly he struts, a supposed kindness. In other relationships, that would not matter; you would laugh. It's complicated.

It's more about heart isn't it?
Things come and go, you cannot offer your soul for sale. It can only be given,and accepted, or not.
